Pooler joins Akerman's Litigation Practice Group from Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor LLP.

Her practice focuses on M&A-related disputes, contested transactions, fiduciary duty and securities matters, stockholder actions, and distressed company issues, including restructurings and recapitalizations. Pooler draws on experience clerking for Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III of the Delaware Court of Chancery and regularly handles expedited proceedings, high-stakes governance matters, and appeals. She also advises boards and senior executives on corporate governance and litigation risk. Prior to practicing in Charlotte, she spent more than a decade in New York at a large international law firm. She joins Akerman as a partner. Samuel Mann joins Akerman's Litigation Practice Group from Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP. He brings more than a dozen years of experience representing financial institutions, corporations, hedge funds, and senior executives in complex litigation and regulatory matters. His practice spans securities, antitrust, complex commercial, employment, insurance, and non-debtor bankruptcy matters, as well as internal investigations and enforcement actions. Mann has appeared before the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the European Securities and Markets Authority. He regularly advises corporate clients on litigation and regulatory risk, internal investigations, and anti-corruption due diligence in corporate transactions.

Faltin represents public and private companies in the acquisition and disposition of office, hospitality, retail, industrial, and manufactured housing assets, advises on the real estate components of utility-scale solar and wind projects, and supports M&A transactions by counseling clients on real estate diligence, entity formation, governance, and operating structures.
