Hinckley Allen's Jim Tuxbury on Winning the Largest SOX Settlement Ever and How It Took a Decade to Cut Through the Red Tape

Sep 5, 2025

Jim Tuxbury is a litigator at Boston-based firm  Hinckley Allen. In 2014, he picked up a ‘whistleblower’ case against SunEdison and its owned subsidiaries, Terraform Global and Terraform Power, brought by the former president and CEO of both companies, Carlos Domenech Zornoza. Zornoza was fired shortly after attempting to go to SunEdison about what he believed to be misleading statements regarding the company’s liquidity made by SunEdison’s CEO and CFO. What followed was a decade of red tape, corporate shielding, and, eventually, a $34.5 million payout to Zornoza.
