Said more plainly, on the flip-side, late last week, Lowenstein’s Eakeley was ADDED to the Schering-Plough/Organon False Claims Act/Qui Tam defense team, when Arent Fox withdrew, on Thursday/Friday. Arent Fox had defended the matter since long before the acquisition of Organon, by Schering. That said, Schering is a very heavy-user of Lowenstein Sandler PC lawyers in defense of its various bundles of litigation. And so, perhaps it was all a “steamlining” move.

Do take a look:

Also, Lowenstein’s Eakeley was the lawyer signing the affidavits for Schering’s motion to dismiss — in Cain v. Hassan, last night — the putative shareholders’ derivative action (ENHANCE version 2008). Here that is:
