Practice Areas
Since our founding in 1983, we have dedicated our practice to protecting victims of corporate wrongdoing while providing extraordinary value to our clients. Working on a contingent basis, we have successfully prosecuted many of the most significant and high-profile actions in history in the areas in which we litigate.
Specializing in securities class, derivative and direct actions in federal and state courts; corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations; violations of federal and state anti-discrimination laws and vindication of employee rights; and consumer claims, we also prosecute general complex commercial litigation involving allegations of breach of contract, accountants' liability, breach of fiduciary duty, patent infringement, fraud and negligence on behalf of institutions and individuals.
With a financial interest in the outcome of a litigation, our interests as advocates are perfectly aligned with those of our clients.
