● Obtaining, for a software company that serves Wall Street, an appellate victory that has become a landmark decision in New York, to which courts and attorneys now look for guidance in interpreting fundamental employment law and class action issues. (Shah v. Wilco Sys., Inc., 27 AD 3d 169 (1st Dept; 2005)); and 

● Gaining uniquely valuable experience by defending a multitude of employment-based claims, in New York and New Jersey, for the largest private employer in the world, Wal-Mart.
