Overview
Entwistle & Cappucci is a national law firm with eight offices strategically
located throughout the country to best serve our clients' diverse needs. We provide top-flight
legal representation and exceptional service to clients that include major public corporations, a
number of the nation's largest public pension funds, governmental entities, leading institutional
investors, domestic and foreign financial services companies, emerging business enterprises and
individual entrepreneurs.
The lawyers who founded this firm in 1998 did so with a fresh commitment to
excellence, integrity and creativity. Our strong reputation among clients, adversaries and the
judiciary is not inherited from prior generations. Instead, we have earned our reputation day-byday, client-by-client and matter-by-matter. Our approach to the practice of law is businessoriented, pragmatic and collegial.
As an entrepreneurial firm, we approach the issues facing our clients not merely
as lawyers but as business owners who understand the realities of the modern business
environment. We partner closely with our clients both in forging efficient solutions to the
challenges they face and in identifying the opportunities open to them. This practical approach
assists our clients in meeting their business objectives and rewards us with a loyal and expanding
client roster of which we are immensely proud.
Internally, we maintain a collegial environment that attracts and retains highly
qualified lawyers. Equipped with specialized knowledge relating to their respective areas of
expertise, our lawyers engage in a robust exchange of ideas aimed at expertly advancing and
protecting our clients' interests with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity.

Antitrust Litigation
We have extensive experience in antitrust litigation, primarily in the areas of
price-fixing, market division, tying and monopolization. We are currently prosecuting a massive
price-fixing case involving fees charged by brokers in connection with stock loans. Our lawyers
have also litigated antitrust cases involving zoning, patents and major league baseball licensing
among many others, and can offer related counseling.
Appeals
The firm represents clients before state and federal appellate courts across the
country. Whether seeking a reversal of an adverse result or the affirmance of a favorable
outcome, clients routinely turn to our appellate lawyers for their careful assessment of the
viability of an appeal, mastery of the trial court record, well-crafted briefs and effective oral
argument.
Bankruptcy Litigation
We have substantial experience litigating complex bankruptcy matters. Among
other things, we have represented the Retired Employees Committee in the OMC bankruptcy,
equity holders in the American Bank Note bankruptcy and the State of Florida in connection
with the Enron bankruptcy. We have also served as special litigation counsel for the Global
Crossing Estate Representative in connection with the Global Crossing bankruptcy. In addition,
we represented the New York State Common Retirement Fund in the Refco, Inc. bankruptcy and
related litigations.
Business and Commercial Litigation
Our commercial litigators are devoted to the creative resolution of complex
business disputes on behalf of both corporate entities and individuals. We represent a diverse
client base in a correspondingly broad array of matters. Although the nature of these disputes

Case 1:09-cv-03125-RJS
Document 141-3
Filed 05/03/2010
Page 6 of 23
may vary greatly, our approach to resolving them is consistent. From the outset, we
painstakingly marshal the relevant facts, objectively analyze the controlling law, assess the
underlying commercial realities and develop a strategy to achieve the client's business objectives
as efficiently and expeditiously as possible. Each of our commercial litigators understands this
strategy, which is applied to every business dispute we encounter. Our team approach
guarantees that each lawyer knows who is doing what and why they are doing it. This allows us
to staff our cases leanly from a deep bench of experienced litigators, and we can rapidly expand
or contract our litigation teams as circumstances dictate. However, from start to finish, we
maintain a core team of experienced litigators whose overriding objective is to materially
advance the client's objectives on a daily basis. "Litigation for litigation's sake" has no place in
our pragmatic and business-oriented approach. We understand firsthand that litigating complex
business issues is enormously expensive and disruptive. For this reason, we vigilantly explore
all available means short of a full-blown litigation to effect expeditious and favorable resolutions
to disputes, whether through direct negotiation with our adversaries or some means of alternative
dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration.
Corporate
We advise clients with respect to general legal matters relating to their business
operations, including the proper choice of entity and the formation of corporations, limited
liability companies and partnerships; negotiation and documentation of shareholder agreements,
limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements, employment agreements and
severance agreements; and partnership dissolutions and other business separations.
The firm also negotiates, structures and documents a wide variety of transactions
including consulting agreements and many other commercial agreements and contracts that are
dictated by the business needs of our clients. For matters involving intellectual property and

information technology, we negotiate and document licenses, franchise and distributorship
arrangements, consulting agreements and related agreements.
A portion of our client base is comprised of foreign investors who buy and sell
U.S.-based assets and businesses. We understand the various challenges facing those making
cross-border investments in this country and can structure deals that maximize their opportunities
and minimize their exposure, just as we assist domestic businesses explore, develop and engage
in business transactions in foreign countries.
Finally, many of our clients have accumulated substantial assets and want to
develop comprehensive estate plans that reflect their priorities. We work with individuals and
families to integrate personal, business and philanthropic needs into estate planning.
Corporate Governance
We have extensive experience advising public and private institutional clients on
corporate governance matters, including board structure and composition, by-law and certificate
of incorporation provisions, takeover devices, management remuneration, and accounting and
reporting processes. We are well equipped to provide in-depth analyses of governance practices
and promote governance issues that best serve the long-term investment objectives of our
institutional clients.
We also litigate issues of corporate and board conduct arising from business
transactions. These matters can involve issues such as the fairness of the transaction based on
both pricing and process; the validity of take-over defenses such as poison pills and defensive
restructurings; and the fairness of executive compensation. Such cases commonly include
derivative claims alleging that the corporate entity's board of directors breached their fiduciary
duties and failed to exercise proper business judgment.

Employment Litigation and Counseling
Our employment law group assists employers as they navigate the evolving and
expanding universe of laws affecting the workplace. One of this group's most important services
is counseling clients on designing and implementing policies and practices to avoid costly and
disruptive litigation commenced by current and former employees. It is an unfortunate business
reality that employers, regardless of size, will at some point become embroiled in disputes with
employees alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, wage and hour
law violations, whistleblower or any number of other employment-related claims. Our
employment litigators are experienced in investigating and assessing the workplace claims
brought against our clients and implementing a comprehensive strategy to dispose of those
claims in the least disruptive manner.
In addition to defending workplace claims, we have deep experience in
aggressively protecting our clients' confidential and proprietary business information. The firm's
litigators move quickly and decisively to pursue former employees and competitors in matters
involving breaches of restrictive covenants, misappropriation of confidential information and
trade secrets, breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the duty of loyalty and similar wrongdoing.
We also have extensive experience managing investigations into our clients' employment
practices commenced by regulators.
Our lawyers routinely draft employment contracts, employee handbooks,
restrictive covenants, and other documents used to memorialize the terms of the employeremployee relationship, that optimally position the employer should that relationship terminate or
turn hostile. Similarly, we help clients -- individuals and employers alike -- structure severance
packages for departing executives. We also have extensive experience advising employers as
they devise and implement plans for reductions in force.

Governmental Affairs
Our governmental affairs practice is national in scope. We represent clients
requiring expertise in the development, management and resolution of public policy issues
before the governmental community. We work to ensure that our clients have the necessary
access to and level of advocacy before decision-makers in government.
Immigration
Immigration issues have proliferated as the global economy increases the demand
for skilled foreign workers. We routinely counsel clients in developing strategies to address
workplace immigration issues that ensure compliance with the controlling law while facilitating
competition in the global marketplace.
Insurance Litigation
We have a long history of representing insurance carriers in the negotiation and
litigation of complex coverage matters. In addition, carriers routinely look to our litigators to
handle the most challenging claims asserted against their insureds.
We also have served as counsel to the New York State Superintendent of
Insurance in his capacity as rehabilitator of troubled insurers. In that capacity, we have been
called upon to determine why those insurers failed or faltered, and prosecute actions to recover
wasted or misappropriated assets. We also have pursued actions against third parties, including
accountants and brokers, for their role in precipitating the failure of these insurers.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We help companies, boards of directors and shareholders/owners manage their
interests in mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and leveraged buy-outs. Unique issues confront
entrepreneurs and capital providers who engage the firm for its experience in venture capital
deals. These include start-up companies, emerging growth companies and mature businesses in

a wide variety of industries -- from conventional to those that are technology-based industries.
We can represent either portfolio companies or capital providers engaged in equity, mezzanine
and/or senior debt financings.
Just as important as helping clients close a deal is helping clients choose the
proper exit from a deal which can include sales, public offerings, refinancings, recapitalizations,
restructuring or the spinning-off of businesses.
Securities Litigation
The firm fields one of the nation's premier teams of securities litigators. This
team has prosecuted a full range of securities matters on behalf of public pension funds and other
institutional investors. We represent clients in direct, or opt-out, actions; class actions alleging
securities fraud and ancillary matters relating to insolvency and foreign judicial proceedings. We
also prosecute shareholder derivative actions alleging breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste,
and self-dealing, among other things. We seek monetary damages for investment losses
attributable to fraud as well as corporate governance remedies in the majority of these matters.
Our securities litigators have recovered more than $3 billion on behalf of
investors from some of the most significant securities fraud actions of the past five years,
including In re Royal Ahold Securities Litigation (a $1.1 billion recovery), In re BankAmerica
Securities Litigation (a $490 million recovery), In re DaimlerChrysler Securities Litigation (a
$300 million recovery), In re CMS Energy Securities Litigation (a $200 million recovery), and In
re Dollar General Securities Litigation (a $172 million recovery). Our experience and ability in
litigating securities matters is demonstrated not only by the results that we have achieved, but
also by the roster of institutional clients who seek our advice. We are proud to include a number
of the nation's largest and most sophisticated public pension funds among our clients.

Our Securities Monitoring and Reporting Program provides our institutional
clients with the most complete information available to evaluate potential courses of action whether to pursue securities class action litigation as a lead plaintiff; whether to litigate claims
directly in a private action; or whether to forego litigation entirely. This program offers regular
review of our clients' latest securities holdings in light of emerging market conditions and
corporate developments to identify circumstances in which investment losses are likely
attributable to fraud. Using this program we calculate client losses under a variety of loss
calculation methodologies. We then prepare detailed reports describing, among other things, the
factual and legal underpinnings of potential claims; the likelihood of recovering all or a portion
of our client's losses; strategies for resolution; and any opportunities to advocate corporate
governance changes.
White Collar
Our white collar criminal defense group has decades of experience representing
corporate entities and individuals in criminal investigations and proceedings. Led by a team of
former federal and state prosecutors, this group represents our clients in every phase of a
criminal case -- from the inception of an investigation, before the grand jury, at trial and
throughout post-trial proceedings. However some of the group's most important and
sophisticated work takes place before criminal charges even materialize. Drawing on years of
front-line experience, with a credibility developed over years of working with governmental
authorities, our lawyers have had considerable success in persuading prosecutors not to pursue
criminal charges in the first place -- thus protecting the client from the legal, financial and media
fallout of a criminal prosecution.
As former prosecutors and long-time defense lawyers, members of our white
collar criminal defense group are also uniquely qualified to conduct internal corporate

uncovering improper conduct by their employees, vendors, officers, directors and others.

William S. Gyves
William S. Gyves, chairman of the firm's Business and Commercial Litigation
Department, concentrates his practice on the litigation of complex commercial and employment
matters. In addition to defending and prosecuting claims in the traditional litigation context, Mr.
Gyves has considerable experience in successfully resolving disputes through mediation, arbitration
and direct pre-litigation negotiations.
Representing a diverse spectrum of clients -- ranging from the New York State
Superintendent of Insurance and one of the world's premier jewelers to financial institutions and
institutions of higher education -- Mr. Gyves has prosecuted and defended matters involving a
correspondingly wide array of business disputes. In his employment practice, Mr. Gyves counsels
and represents management in, among other things, restrictive covenant, breach of fiduciary duty,
harassment, discrimination and retaliation matters.
On behalf of his clients, Mr. Gyves recently:

secured summary judgment relating to a promissory note at
the heart of a complex offshore reinsurance program, based
on crucial admissions obtained during the defendant's
deposition testimony that a federal judge found to "directly
contradict" the defendant's earlier sworn testimony and
documentary evidence;

obtained the pre-discovery dismissal of a federal securities
fraud case and defeated a related application for injunctive
relief, successfully arguing that membership interests in a
limited liability company do not constitute securities under
the federal securities laws;

secured the voluntary withdrawal of a $50 million finder's
fee claim brought against a financial institution, based on
the strength of a pre-answer investigation demonstrating
the claim to be without factual or legal merit;

obtained through mediation an expedited settlement on
behalf of a group of hedge funds defrauded by a company's
misrepresentations regarding its financial condition and
prospects;

convinced a court to compel a defendant to surrender
monies shown to have been moved illegally to an offshore
haven and then traced back to the defendant's principals in
the United States;


obtained injunctive relief precluding a former employee
from competing with a client, demonstrating through a
computer forensics investigation that the former employee
had pilfered the client's confidential and proprietary
materials;

secured the pre-discovery dismissal of a putative consumer
fraud class action brought against a financial institution;

secured injunctive relief halting a construction project that
had been disrupting the operations of a college campus;
and,

obtained summary judgment in favor of a financial
institution in litigation arising out of a fraudulent mortgage
scheme.
A cum laude graduate of St. John's University School of Law, Mr. Gyves was CoExecutive Notes and Comments Editor of the law review. After obtaining his undergraduate degree
from Fordham University and before attending law school, Mr. Gyves worked for six years as a
newspaper journalist, garnering a number of awards for his coverage of politics, government and
other matters.
Beyond his professional responsibilities, Mr. Gyves is active in a number of
charitable and educational organizations. Most recently, he was named to the Board of the Make-aWish Foundation of New Jersey, a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children with
life-threatening medical conditions.
