Ross Aronstam & Moritz LLP

Wilmington-based firm Ross Aronstam & Moritz LLP is seen by some as ‘simply the best in Delaware’. Focused purely on proceedings before the Delaware Court of Chancery, the firm works closely with the biggest national defense firms, though it frequently handles substantial, complex matters without co-counsel. Practice heads David Ross (described by one client as ‘the best litigator in Delaware’), Bradley Aronstam (who ‘offers excellent judgment as well as great skill’) and Garrett Moritz stand out for their experience and high-quality advice. Ross and Moritz successfully represented Elon Musk and other Tesla directors in a challenge to the company’s acquisition of SolarCity in a stock-for-stock transaction that valued SolarCity at approximately $2.6bn and $2.8bn. The court ruled in favour of the defendants on all counts and the result was confirmed on appeal. Up-and-coming partners Michael Sirkin, Garrett Rice and Eric Selden all play central roles in the firm’s most high-profile cases. Sirking assisted Aronstam in securing the dismissal of numerous claims brought by BitGo against Galaxy Digital concerning the termination of a $1.2bn merger.
