On Thursday, November 8, Kent Yalowitz will speak to the University of Chicago Law School LDB Chapter on the constitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act, prompted by his work on the Sokolow v. PLO lawsuit. Kent Yalowitz has represented a wide variety of clients in high-stakes litigation. Most recently, he led the trial team that secured a $655 million jury verdict against the Palestinian Authority and the PLO in favor of eleven American families injured in terrorist attacks. This was the largest personal injury jury verdict ever in the Southern District of New York and was recently ranked 2nd nationwide by the National Law Journal in its special report on 2015 “Top 100 Verdicts” based on award size. Mr. Yalowitz has deep experience in contractual and business disputes, civil and criminal tax controversies, labor and employment disputes, bankruptcy, securities fund, product liability, antitrust, and corporate governance matters. In addition to trial and appellate work, he assists clients with internal and governmental investigation. Before entering private practice, Mr. Yalowitz served as a law clerk for Judge Edmund L. Palmieri of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
