Louis Chaiten represents clients in complex litigation matters, with an emphasis on arguing and briefing novel questions of law. He has argued in multiple federal and state courts of appeals. He also has substantial experience defending corporations, officers, and directors in securities fraud and shareholder derivative actions. He has litigated cases involving securitizations, financial instruments, corporate governance, bankruptcy, and complicated accounting and tax issues. Louis recently served as the principal brief writer on a successful motion to dismiss the city of Cleveland's novel public nuisance case against financial institutions for purported damages from subprime mortgage foreclosures in Cleveland.
Louis commits substantial time to pro bono representations. Most recently, in collaboration with the New York-based Innocence Project, Louis argued an appeal from the denial of a post-conviction motion filed by Thomas Siller, an Ohio man convicted of murder in 2001. Recently discovered forensic evidence undermines that conviction. In July 2009, the court of appeals reversed the trial court and awarded Mr. Siller a new trial. Louis also participated in Jones Day's representation of Joe D'Ambrosio, a former Ohio death row inmate whose conviction was expunged after it was discovered that prosecutors suppressed exculpatory evidence.
Louis clerked on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and on the Supreme Court of the United States. He also worked in the Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice, which is responsible for advising the president, the attorney general, and other executive branch officials on complex issues of constitutional, statutory, and international law. Louis is a frequent speaker on U.S. Supreme Court matters.
