The article traces BLB&G’s evolution from a small group of committed plaintiff advocates into a firm that has shaped modern investor protection. Lawdragon highlights how BLB&G has “delivered the lion’s share of the most consequential securities litigation recoveries,” citing landmark results such as the $6.2 billion WorldCom settlement, the $3.2 billion Cendant resolution, the $2.43 billion recovery against Bank of America, and the U.S. Supreme Court victory in the Merck (Vioxx) case, which ultimately led to more than $1 billion in investor recoveries.

A central theme of the profile is the firm’s deeply rooted sense of purpose. As Lawdragon notes, BLB&G Founding Partner Max Berger built the firm on an unwavering commitment to integrity, accountability, and public service—values shaped by his upbringing and lifelong belief that “you could be a great lawyer and still do good.” That ethic continues to animate BLB&G’s mission today.

The article also emphasizes how the firm’s next generation of leaders has carried that ethos forward. Longstanding partners Hannah Ross, Salvatore Graziano, and Jerry Silk—all central figures in the firm’s success—are recognized for strengthening BLB&G’s culture of collaboration, deepening relationships with institutional investors around the world, and expanding the firm’s impact across securities, corporate governance, and financial misconduct matters. Together, they represent the continuity of Max’s vision and the evolution of the firm’s leadership in an increasingly complex marketplace.

As Lawdragon writes, BLB&G stands as “a living testament to what’s possible when ambition is grounded in integrity—and when lawyers don’t just fight hard, but fight for something that matters.”

We are grateful to Lawdragon for capturing the story of our firm, the work, the people, and the values that have defined BLB&G for more than four decades.
