Alanna Rutherford's primary areas of practice are antitrust and complex civil litigation. She has participated in a number of major litigations, including the trial teams for SR Int’l Business Ins. Co. v. World Trade Center Properties LLC, where BSF obtained a jury verdict in federal district court in 2004 on behalf of Lloyds of London in the World Trade Center insurance trial that helped determine whether the Silverstein Parties were entitled to one payout or two following the events of 9/11; and In the Matter of New York Stock Exchange Archipelago Merger Litigation, where BSF represented Goldman Sachs, who served as facilitator for the merger between the two exchanges. The case ultimately settled following the testimony of Goldman’s key witness.
