Jeff was a member of a litigation team that represented Compuware in a dispute against IBM that included claims of theft of trade secrets, antitrust claims, and claims for copyright and patent infringement. The case settled after a five-week jury trial in Compuware’s favor on March 31, 2005 for $400 million. Compuware Corp. v. IBM, United States District Court (E.D. Mich. 2002-2005)
