Moira Cain-Mannix represents and advises clients in a wide range of litigation matters. Moira has represented clients in various types of business litigation, including antitrust litigation, commercial real estate disputes, contracts, RICO claims, ERISA claims, employment disputes, and personal injury lawsuits. Ms. Cain-Mannix has successfully handled cases in all stages of litigation in the state and federal courts, as well as in alternative dispute resolution forums. Additionally, Moira has counseled clients in various business matters with the goal of avoiding or minimizing future legal disputes.

In 2009, Ms. Cain-Mannix was part of the trial team in the case of Salvatore v. Mobile Diagnostech, Inc., et al., in which the firm obtained a $59 million civil RICO verdict and judgment following a two-week jury trial in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The case was brought by limited partners in an MRI business against the partnership's general partners and managers, and included derivative claims for civil RICO violations, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty arising out of unauthorized, multi-million dollar loans taken from the partnership and the general partners' acquisition of partnership units using partnership funds. The verdict and resulting judgment is one of the very few successfully prosecuted civil RICO verdicts in the Western District of Pennsylvania.

In addition to practicing law, Ms. Cain-Mannix is Chair of the Board of Directors for Mental Health America Legal Services, Inc. and serves on the Board of the St. Thomas More Society.
