Beat Back Perjury Allegations Against Executive of Fortune 100 Health-Care Company

A Fortune 100 health-care company facing scores of civil lawsuits related to its products retained an AmLaw 100 firm for its defense. One of the company’s high-ranking executives testified on multiple occasions about the safety of its materials and propriety of its actions. Based on the testimony, the plaintiffs alleged that the executive had committed perjury and an investigation ensued. This jeopardized both the outcome of the civil proceedings and the freedom of the executive. The AmLaw 100 firm turned to SouthBank Legal to conduct an intensive examination and detailed inquiry. SouthBank Legal was able to demonstrate that the executive’s testimony had been completely truthful; as a result, the investigation was closed and the Fortune 100 company resolved the civil matters.

"Needed a firm that was more efficient and cost-effective, followed instructions, and didn’t ‘over-do’ assistance required."

"We had been pushed down the priority list at a larger firm. We see ourselves as a growing, dynamic organization and wanted a law firm that fit that mold."

"We used to have two firms; SouthBank was less expensive and we were happy with their work so we consolidated with them."

"Big firm experience is helpful. They perform at that level and bring that level of talent with a smaller, more responsive environment."

"Happy. Efficient and cost-effective. Filled the need. Timely in responses. With one exception, budgets were well-managed and that case involved a change in scope."

"Always available and extremely responsive."

"Came highly recommended and have lived up to it."

"Nothing negative. Like their team concept. They’re open to feedback, and I look to have them more engaged in our business than previous firms. Our key decision-makers have been impressed to date."

"I would recommend SouthBank and have done so probably six times that I can recall."

"For any type of law that matches their specialty areas, I would recommend SouthBank."

"I recommend them often and strongly."

"I recommend them all the time. They are the first name that comes up–not just for employment law."
