Representative Matters
- Along with Pierce O'Donnell, Fred represented a foundation which had funded a pathbreaking, world-renowned biorepository for liver tissues located for a decade at the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) in San Francisco. Problems developed, and three years ago, CPMC sent a notice of eviction that threatened the existence of the biorepository. The foundation hired Greenberg Glusker, which filed a lawsuit on its behalf to prevent the ruination of the biorepository. Within three days, CPMC asked to stay the litigation and enter into settlement discussions. Three years later, the parties finally entered into a settlement favorable to the foundation. The liver repository was saved and is being relocated at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center. Technical Training Foundation v.
