Overview
(July 1, 2024) – The Steptoe team that represented Eddystone Rail Company in its recent trial victory has been recognized as a runner-up in The AmLaw Litigation Daily Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs. Steptoe secured a $171.6 million judgment on behalf of our client against propane company Ferrellgas Partners and affiliates. After a 19-day bench trial, a US District Court in Philadelphia found that our client was damaged by a series of fraudulent transfers surrounding Ferrellgas’ sale of Bridger Transfer Services.
The Steptoe team was led by partners Steve Barber, Jennifer Quinn-Barabanov and Alice Loughran, and included attorney Fil Agusti, of counsel Linda Bailey and Andrew Sloniewsky, and associates Caitlin Daday, Kate Fisch, Emma Marshak and Joe McClure.
