After he won a record $521.7 million verdict against BDO Seidman, Steven Thomas was so enamored of working on the plaintiffs side that he quit a Sullivan & Cromwell partnership to start up his own firm. But Tuesday he experienced the other side of the coin, when a state court judge directed a verdict for BDO's international parent.

The jury had the case for less than an hour before it returned with the bad news for plaintiffs' lawyer Steve Thomas: BDO International, it found, isn't responsible for the $170 million in compensatory damages Thomas previously won against its U.S. affiliate. The ruling follows Tuesday's directed verdict against Thomas's client.
