US: Holwell Shuster & Goldberg names partner

Holwell Shuster & Goldberg announced on Tuesday, January 16, that Benjamin Heidlage has been promoted to partner, effective January 1, 2018.

“Ben is a terrific addition to our partnership,” said Judge Richard Holwell, co-founder of Holwell Shuster & Goldberg. “His trial experience and passion for the law have proven a tremendous benefit to clients and colleagues alike, and he is a valued member of our growing team.”

Benjamin, 33, clerked for the Honorable Patrick Higginbotham of the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. At Holwell Shuster & Goldberg, he represents both individuals and corporations in contract, securities, and antitrust disputes in state and federal courts and arbitral tribunals. He is heavily involved in the firm’s representation of banks as trustees or securities administrators in various RMBS putback matters, each involving hundreds of millions of dollars, including the firm’s representation of the trustees in the Lehman bankruptcy. Recently, he also was a member of the team involved in a New York-based arbitration involving a commercial dispute between Japanese and Mexican parties, as well as the team representing a MacAndrews & Forbes company in a case involving a billion-dollar antitrust claim against News Corp. and its subsidiaries.
