Baradaran, a transactional partner, was lead transaction counsel to Mrs. Sterling. He was elected to serve as Greenberg Glusker's managing partner in January 2014.

Paramount case related to the movie "Coming to America," litigation on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and the Metro Goldwyn Mayer v. American Honda (News - Alert) case that recognized federal copyright protection for James Bond. O'Donnell also served as the lead trial counsel of a team of lawyers who obtained a $3.5 billion settlement from various energy companies in the California Energy Crisis antitrust litigation.
