Profile

Aaron Seiji Lowenstein is a litigation associate in Los Angeles. Mr. Lowenstein’s practice is wide-ranging, with emphasis on defending and counseling clients in professional malpractice, securities and antitrust matters.

  • Bank of America against several mortgage-backed securities lawsuits, including $10 billion in claims asserted by AIG.
  • An AmLaw 100 law firm against professional malpractice claims asserted by a former hedge fund client.
  • A large telecommunications provider against a consumer class action alleging false advertising. The court granted summary judgment.
  • A major property developer in CEQA litigation arising from a contemplated retail project in Southern California. In 2013, the matter was resolved on favorable terms shortly after Munger Tolles filed a demurrer on the client’s behalf.
  • An online retailer against claims that it violated the antitrust laws by commencing “sham litigation” against its competitors.
  • A publicly traded company in prosecuting multi-million dollar insurance coverage claims against several large insurers.
