Abbe Lowell of Chadbourne & Parke and Lee Wolosky of Boies, Schiller & Flexner are no strangers to sensational, high-profile cases. Exhibit A: the defamation lawsuit that Greek billionaire Victor Restis brought against the powerful nonprofit United Against Nuclear Iran, which was thrown back into the headlines over the weekend by the government’s plea to toss the case.
The case has always been one to watch. Not only did Restis demand billions of dollars in damages from UANI, but the litigation may shed light on whether Restis and other wealthy businessmen are illegally helping the Republic of Iran export oil, as UANI has alleged as part of a “name and shame” campaign.
