The Role
The firm's Securities Litigation & Professional Liability team — known for its experienced trial lawyers, industry-focused litigators, and former SEC and DOJ officials — is routinely entrusted with the most high-profile and high-stakes securities litigation. Their track record in federal and state courts is built on hundreds of victories in securities cases on behalf of Fortune 500 companies, boards of directors, global financial institutions, and all of the Big 4 accounting firms. The firm frequently succeed in disposing of securities claims through early motion practice, insulating clients from business disruption and ending matters as cost-effectively as possible. For cases that do proceed to discovery, they use an efficient team of seasoned lawyers to cut through the clutter and identify key pieces of evidence to develop a compelling narrative. When trial is unavoidable, the extensive trial experience has earned the team a formidable reputation, providing clients with a distinct advantage in the courtroom. Because of the trial-ready posture, coupled with aggressive and creative pre-trial litigation strategies, they successfully resolve most matters well short of trial.
