Since joining the firm in 1998, Phil Korologos's main practice area has been complex litigation.

At Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, Mr. Korologos has represented numerous high-profile clients, including fund managers, cable television providers, power and electric companies, technology corporations, agricultural companies, manufacturing and construction entities, resort/gaming groups and developers, and high net worth individuals in significant and diverse litigation matters involving antitrust violations, securities fraud and other fraud allegations, RICO, accountant malpractice, shareholder derivative suits, merger and acquisition disputes, breach of fiduciary duty claims, contract disputes, insurance disputes, partnership disputes and toxic and environmental torts. Mr. Korologos is experienced in United States District Courts, United States Courts of Appeals, state trial courts, state appellate courts and international arbitrations.

Mr. Korologos is lead counsel in representing Opportunity Equity Partners Ltd. and Daniel Dantas, among other Brazilian-based individuals and entities, which engage in investment, fund and asset management in connection with disputes pending in the United States district and appellate courts in New York and ICC arbitrations in Paris concerning ownership and control rights of multi-billion dollar foreign companies which involve partnership and control disputes, allegations of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. He is lead counsel in representing Kerzner International, a resort and gaming company and owner of the Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island in the Bahamas and the One & Only brand of six-star international resorts, in connection with a trademark dispute involving the Atlantis marks that is pending in federal district court in Nevada. Mr. Korologos is lead counsel for Boies Schiller's involvement representing the class in lawsuits concerning temperature-affected volumes of motor fuel (gasoline and diesel) sold to consumers by motor fuel retailers involving allegations of consumer fraud and breach of contract. Mr. Korologos was lead counsel representing Adelphia, one of the country's largest cable providers in several complex litigations brought by Adelphia (including securities fraud, RICO, accountant malpractice, among other litigations) stemming from a major corporate scandal. Mr. Korologos was also lead counsel for Adelphia in the action brought by the Securities & Exchange Commission against Adelphia and its former management. He has played an instrumental role in representing the class in a suit (now successfully settled) involving price fixing allegations against Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses. He has represented a high net worth individual in a securities fraud case against a major U.S. bank that resulted in the successful Second Circuit appeal ruling Caiola v. Citibank, 295 F.3d 312 (2d Cir. 2002), redefining a "security" to include synthetic options. He has been and continues to be lead counsel in representing the Waterford Group, a hotel and facilities development group involved in a variety of litigations, including in a partnership dispute involving breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and fraudulent non-disclosure allegations related to the partnership's development of the Mohegan Sun Casino that resulted in a successful Connecticut Supreme Court opinion, Leisure Resort Technology v. Trading Cove Associates, 277 Conn. 21, 889 A.2d 785 (2006), affirming the lower court's grant of summary judgment. He has represented Georgia-Pacific, a leading paper and wood products manufacturing corporation, in a price fixing class action and in toxic tort litigation brought by over 400 plaintiffs involving charges of toxic contamination of lands and waters in southeast Georgia in which, following a year's worth of motion practice, the plaintiffs dismissed their own actions. He has represented 3Com, a technology/network communications equipment corporation, in achieving dismissal on summary judgment of a class action shareholder derivative suit, concerning the decline of that corporation's stock price following a miss of Wall Street expected earnings; he has represented Caithness, a major independent power producer in connection with billion dollar litigation stemming from alleged violations of environmental regulations, in connection with the California energy crisis, and in partnership and contract disputes. Mr. Korologos represented Delta and Pine Land Company, an agricultural firm, in its suit against Monsanto claiming a breach of their merger agreement as a result of the defendant's failed attempts to obtain antitrust approval.

From 1991 to 1998, Mr. Korologos was an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where he was involved in a variety of complex litigation matters.
