Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Should Be Appointed As Lead Counsel Sample Clauses

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Should Be Appointed As Lead Counsel. Plaintiff Montini proposes that the Court exercise its discretion to approve his proposed selection of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx as Lead Counsel and Xxx Xxxxx as Local Counsel for the Consolidated Derivative Action. Together, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx will promote the efficient and orderly prosecution of the derivative claims asserted in the Consolidated Derivative Action for the benefit of Exxon and its shareholders. It is well-established that a court may appoint counsel to direct, manage, and prosecute a complex case, such as a shareholder derivative action. See In re Xxxxx Fargo Wage & Hour Emp’t Practices Litig., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 159953, at *11 (S.D. Tex. Dec. 19, 2011) (courts have “a great deal of flexibility with regard to appointing representative counsel; for instance, one attorney may serve as lead, liaison, and trial counsel, or the function of lead attorney may be split among several attorneys.”). Indeed, many courts recognize the “benefits of appointing lead counsel include eliminating duplication and repetition.” Xxxxxxx, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 198780, at *3 (citing MacAlister v. Xxxxxxx, 263 F.2d 65, 68-69 (2d Cir. 1958)); see also Manual For Complex Litigation, Fourth (“MCL 4th”) §10.22 (“[m]ore often, however, the court will need to institute procedures under which one or more attorneys are selected and authorized to act on behalf of the other counsel and their clients with respect to specified aspects of the litigation.”). The Manual for Complex Litigation recognizes the benefits of appointing lead counsel in complex, multiparty litigation: Complex litigation often involves numerous parties with common or similar interests but separate counsel. Traditional procedures in which all papers and documents are served on all attorneys, and each attorney files motions, presents arguments, and examines witnesses, may waste time and money, confuse and misdirect the litigation, and burden the court unnecessarily. Instituting special procedures for coordination of counsel early in the litigation will help to avoid these problems. MCL 4th § 10.22.
