Before he became a lawyer, Mr. Cornell was a journalist at the Boston Herald, the Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers. An investigative story he wrote for the Tennessean in Nashville uncovered a series of radiation experiments done on poor pregnant women during the Cold War that led to a class action lawsuit and a $10 million settlement with Vanderbilt University.

He has litigated a wide range of commercial, securities and antitrust cases. Working for the famed lawyer David Boies, Mr. Cornell litigated a whistleblower case against the pharmacy benefit manager Medco that resulted in a $166 million settlement and was recognized as The Case of the Month in the June 2006 issue of American Lawyer magazine. He also defended a major telecom against claims of securities fraud, and successfully sued Genzyme and other pharmaceutical manufacturers under IP, antitrust, securities and other causes of action. He was part of a team of Boies, Schiller & Flexner that sued Visa, MasterCard and the ten largest banks in the nation on behalf of American Express. The case resulted in a $4 billion settlement, the largest in antitrust history.
