In 2020, Evan co-authored the chapter on “The Complaint” in the esteemed Thomson Reuters legal treatise titled “Commercial Litigation in New York State Courts.” In 2019, he achieved a significant victory for his client, securing a judgment of nearly five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) after a trial in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. This case involved intricate commercial litigation, encompassing indemnification and breach of contract claims arising from a sixty-three-million-dollar ($63,000,000.00) purchase and sale of an insurance company by a billion-dollar asset management company and its subsidiaries, executed through a stock purchase agreement.
