Molly second-chaired the BHB trial team that won a complete victory in arbitration for a leading software provider whose technology powers hundreds of credit unions and community banks nationwide. After a customer terminated its contract with BHB’s client and initiated arbitration, BHB countered with affirmative claims. Following a multi-day evidentiary hearing, the arbitrator agreed with BHB on all claims, denying the bank's claims and awarding BHB’s client a significant award and fees.

Molly helped obtain dismissal with an award of attorneys’ fees for a global commercial real estate company and three of its senior brokers in a defamation and business tort action in the Commercial Division of New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. Our clients were engaged by the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services to provide brokerage services on City leasing matters and subcontracted with the plaintiff to provide related services pursuant to the City’s Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Program. When our client notified the City by email that it was no longer assigning new matters to the plaintiff, the plaintiff sued alleging that our client’s email was defamatory. BHB brought a pre-answer motion to dismiss under New York’s Anti-SLAPP law, which safeguards public participants against claims based on public speech and petitioning. The Commercial Division granted our motion, holding that our clients’ speech was protected by the Constitution and New York’s Civil Rights law, and entering an award of attorneys’ fees in our clients’ favor.

Molly was part of the BHB team that devised and executed a creative litigation and negotiation strategy for a high profile volatility arbitrage trader who brought claims against his former hedge fund seeking compensation, access to certain intellectual property developed by our client, and a declaration invalidating contractual restrictive covenants. Through a combination of litigation and negotiation, the BHB team quickly achieved a favorable, pre-trial and pre-discovery resolution including a nearly nine-figure monetary settlement as well as delivery of the requested intellectual property and agreement limiting the scope of post-employment restrictive covenants.

Molly helped represent a major developer of Treasure Island, one of the most significant real estate projects in San Francisco Bay Area history, in a series of consolidated multi-million-dollar actions against Stockbridge Treasure Island Investment Company, LLC, WMS Treasure Island Development I, LLC and Stockbridge TI Co-Investors, LLC concerning the allocation of investment returns from the project. After several years of pitched litigation and on the eve of the deposition of Defendant’s principal in late summer 2025, BHB resolved all claims pursuant to a confidential settlement that allowed for the redevelopment of iconic Treasure Island into a new mixed-use community. In a public statement, our client reflected its pride in having “created new opportunities, housing, and improved one of the San Francisco Bay’s most visible yet underutilized assets.”

Molly served as counsel on a recent international, multi-jurisdictional trade secret dispute over molecular food technology. BHB led a team of lawyers from three different firms across four separate cases in San Francisco, California, Seattle, Washington, and Munich, Germany. BHB’s litigation strategy secured a favorable forum for the primary case, stayed and dismissed the opposing party’s counter-litigations and counterclaims, and obtained a favorable settlement for BHB’s client.

Molly represents a certified class of U.S. direct purchasers of consumer telescopes in antitrust class action. The class asserts Sherman Act and Cartwright Act claims against Celestron, its affiliated manufacturers, and their executives. BHB conducted discovery and helped secure class certification in March 2025; in April 2026, the court denied summary judgment on the price-fixing, market-allocation, and monopolization claims. The case builds on the firm's Ninth Circuit–affirmed $54 million jury verdict against a co-conspirator manufacturer in Optronic Technologies, Inc. v. Ningbo Sunny Electronic Co.
