Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP

Weil Gotshal Secures Dismissal of Shareholder Derivative Action Against First BanCorp
Weil, Gotshal & Manges secured a major victory in a shareholder derivative litigation against First BanCorp, a Puerto Rico financial institution, and several of its current and former officers and directors. The claims concerned alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment arising out of First BanCorp’s alleged improper accounting classification of mortgage transactions with two other Puerto Rico banks. The US District Court for the District of Puerto Rico granted Weil Gotshal’s motion to dismiss all claims and in doing so, marked the first major decision outlining the contours of the demand futility requirement for derivative actions under Puerto Rico law.

The Weil Gotshal team working on this matter consisted of partners Joseph S. Allerhand and Richard W. Slack and associates Matthew L. Mustokoff and Jessica Ortiz.
