Experience

Some of Ms. Markham’s work includes:

Court-appointed executive committee member and class counsel in In re Digital Advertising Antitrust Litigation, representing publishers alleging that Google monopolized and suppressed competition in online display advertising.
Lead counsel representing Wespath, the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of the United Methodist Church, in Doyle v. Reata Pharmaceuticals, a securities class action alleging that Reata made false and/or misleading statements — including in connection with its secondary public stock offerings — concerning, inter alia, the FDA guidance regarding the design of the clinical trial (CARDINAL) for Reata’s drug candidate, bardoxolone methyl. When the FDA revealed serious concerns it had previously raised to Reata, the share price declined materially. The case has resulted in a settlement of $45 million.
