Steve Smith and Ivan Snyder & PoGo Honored for Excellence and Recognition of Community Commitment
November 13, 2006
Ivan J. Snyder
Powell Goldstein was honored for "Excellence and Recognition of Community Commitment" by Mary's Center due to the outstanding pro bono contributions of Steve Smith, Ivan Snyder, and Dan Malabonga. Steve, Ivan and Dan obtained very favorable results for Mary's Center in several suits and actions brought by a former employee of Mary's Center. Mary's Center is a full-service health care facility for the underserved. It has two locations in D.C. and was recently selected by Steve Case's Venture Philanthropy Partners for grants to expand into Maryland and Virginia.
This award was presented at Mary's Center's Gala, attended by over 350 persons including Mayor-elect Adrian Fenty. The Chairman of the Board and the presenting Board Member made special note of the late night emails and the early morning phone calls demonstrating the total commitment of Steve, Ivan and Dan. The presenter (an attorney herself) noted that "although there is no shortage of law firms in town", the POGO team provided service above and beyond Mary's Center's expectations.

Insurance Policies Entitled to Copyright Protection
Aflac vs. Assurant, Inc. et al
March 27, 2006
Ryan T. Pumpian
Damon J. Whitaker
Joel C. Williams, Jr.
John Harbin, Joel Williams, Ryan Pumpian, Damon Whitaker and others at Powell Goldstein represented American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus ("Aflac") (NYSE: AFL) in enforcing its copyrights in certain of its supplemental health insurance policies against Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ) and two of its subsidiaries, Fortis Insurance Company and John Alden Life Insurance Company.
A hearing on Aflac's motion for preliminary injunction was held December 22, 2005. Shortly thereafter, on January 11, 2006, federal district court judge Beverly Martin issued a 45-page opinion finding that all four of the Aflac policies at issue were original works entitled to copyright protection and that Defendants had infringed the cancer and accident policies, Aflac's two biggest sellers. Finding that, at least with regard to these two policies, the "evidence of defendants' copying is remarkable," the Court issued a nationwide injunction preventing Defendants from selling any more of their infringing cancer and accident policies, with the amount of bond to be posted by Aflac to be determined.
The ruling is significant because, while it has long been the law that contracts like insurance policies are capable of receiving copyright protection, Defendants' counsel repeatedly claimed that there are no reported cases finding such policies infringed.
Joey Loudermilk, Aflac's Executive Vice President of Legal and Government Affairs was very pleased with the Court's decision and stated "While we welcome fair competition, there should be no shortcut to the marketplace or easy route for developing the best insurance products."
Defendants recently filed an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit.
The style of the case is American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus v. Assurant, Inc. Fortis Insurance Company, and John Alden Life Insurance Company, United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Civil Action No. 1:05-CV-1462.

Powell Goldstein Serving as Counsel in Nationally-Watched Municipal Bond Litigation
May 13, 2005
Tom Richey and David Meadows of Powell Goldstein's Securities, Corporate and Fiduciary Litigation practice group are counsel to Stephens Inc., the Arkansas investment banking firm, in litigation closely followed by the municipal bond industry, its primary news publication and two of its principal trade associations. The suit involves the relationship between municipal bond underwriters and the bond insurers who insure over 50% of municipal bonds issued each year. Financial Security Assurance Inc., one of the largest bond insurers, insured $69 million in bonds issued by the Solid Waste Management Authority of Crisp County, Georgia. Stephens served as the underwriter on the bond issue. FSA sued Stephens for securities violations, common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation when the bonds defaulted. Stephens won in the District Court. The trial court dismissed the securities claim, ruling that FSA did not have standing to assert claims under the federal securities laws, and granted summary judgment against FSA on the fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims, holding among other things that FSA could not recover because it failed to conduct its own due diligence on the project. The case is on appeal, with The Bond Market Association and the Association of Financial Guaranty Insurers filing opposing amicus curiae (or friend of the court) briefs. "The Bond Buyer" has published six articles regarding the district court's rulings and FSA's appeal. "The Bond Buyer's" two most recent articles regarding the case may be accessed by clicking on title link to this story.

Leveling the Playing Field on Foreign Bribes
Legal Times & The American Lawyer
January 4, 2005
William Steinman
Our partner, Bill Steinman, was featured prominently in this leading story on FCPA issues: William Steinman, a corruption specialist at Powell Goldstein in Washington, D.C., warns that lax overseas enforcement by the OECD nations would undermine public policy as well as U.S. business. "If American companies face a serious risk of prosecution under the FCPA, while competitors in other OECD countries don't face the same enforcement risk from their governments, then the anti-bribery convention will have failed to level the playing field."
