Date: 02/11/15
Cahill represented Deutsche Bank in its successful motion to dismiss all claims brought by the liquidators of Hellas Telecommunications against Deutsche Bank A.G. in a fraudulent conveyance action seeking to recover $1.2 billion from Deutsche Bank and several other defendants. The case arises out the UK bankruptcy proceeding of Hellas Telecommunications, which is a failed Luxembourg cellular telephone company that operated in Greece.

On January 29, Judge Martin Glenn of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims against Deutsche Bank, A.G.
