Our team defends public companies, investment banks, accounting firms, and senior executives in high‑stakes securities, shareholder, and corporate disputes across the U.S. and beyond. We combine a proven record of early resolutions with trial‑ready litigation strength to help clients achieve favorable outcomes in their securities class actions, derivative suits, and high-stakes corporate litigation. 

Working closely with our Securities Enforcement & Regulation, Professional Liability, and Financial Restructuring teams, we handle sophisticated disputes involving: 

• Securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation 
• Litigation arising from mergers, acquisitions, and strategic transactions, representing buyers, sellers, boards, special committees, officers, and financial advisors 
• Internal investigations and related SEC proceedings, advising corporate boards and committees 
• Breach of fiduciary duty and fraudulent transfer claims in bankruptcy proceedings

Clients turn to us to guide them through these types of company-critical disputes because of our deep bench and extensive record of success: 

• Market‑leading trial capability: At our core, we are trial lawyers. When early resolution is not possible, we are prepared to take cases through verdict – and have done so successfully. 
• Proven dismissal record: While we are always ready for trial, we are recognized for our ability securing dismissals at the pleading stage and achieving favorable outcomes at class certification and summary judgment. Our pretrial dismissal rate exceeds the national average in an increasingly challenging securities litigation environment. 
• National and global depth and reach: We have a national and international practice with dedicated securities practitioners in offices across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
