Mark Musico

Career

Mark Musico is a trial and appellate lawyer in Susman Godfrey’s New York Office. His clients include the country’s leading lights in finance, technology, and industry, including: international sports betting and gaming giant, Flutter Entertainment; Fortune 500 conglomerate, General Electric; pioneering satellite communications company, Loral Space & Communications; and prominent hedge fund, Saba Capital.

Musico’s trial wins have generated billions in value for his clients. Most recently, Musico won a favorable award for Flutter Entertainment in a high-profile, multi-billion dollar dispute with FOX Corporation, convincing an arbitrator in New York to nearly double the exercise price FOX sought for its option to acquire a portion of Flutter’s portfolio company, FanDuel. Musico has also secured several victories for hedge fund Saba Capital in disputes with entrenched and underperforming management of funds in which Saba invested, including winning an injunction that allowed Saba to win the vote for board control of a $701 million closed-end fund, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

After graduating first in his class from Columbia Law, Musico started his legal career clerking at every level of the federal judiciary—for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court, Judge Michael Boudin on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and Judge Douglas P. Woodlock on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. These experiences equipped Musico with a unique understanding of the workings of the bench.

Clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, look to Musico for winning insights in high-stakes disputes involving intellectual property, defamation and the First Amendment, the False Claims Act, the Investment Company Act, antitrust, securities, insurance, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud.
