GCR praised the firm’s West Coast practice, led by partners Bo Pearl and Ken O’Rourke, pointing to its “impressive local client base.” The publication noted partner Chuck Diamond’s role in leading US Airways to a win in its long-running suit against Sabre, one of the world’s largest global distribution systems. It also highlighted the firm’s work for Health Care Service Corporation, a licensee of Blue Cross Blue Shield, in two antitrust lawsuits and on behalf of NextEra Energy in a lawsuit alleging the company conspired to monopolize the energy market in Hawaii.
