On July 7, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled in favor of Williams & Connolly client UBS Financial Services Inc., ending the appellant’s effort to vacate an arbitration award in UBS’s favor stemming from a contract dispute. The court affirmed the lower court’s decision confirming the award and held that the arbitration panel did not violate FINRA rules or exceed its powers when determining the award.
Partner Amy Saharia argued before the Eleventh Circuit on April 4, 2025. The Williams & Connolly team representing UBS Financial Services Inc. also included partner Chris Manning and associate Michael Zakrajsek.
