Our approach to litigating is state-of-the-art, backed by extraordinary levels of due diligence and a focus on trial-readiness that has been proven to yield optimal outcomes. We seek to establish an immediate advantage for our clients by narrowing the issues for trial, including through innovative approaches to discovery (such as through the use of statistical sampling in cases involving voluminous evidence) and targeted motions for partial summary judgment that can dismantle our opponent’s best defenses before trial even begins.

As plaintiffs’ counsel, we have obtained more than $46 billion in recoveries, including several of the largest residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) recoveries in U.S. history, and we have pioneered claims, and even practice areas, that held institutional giants accountable. 

As defense counsel, we have obtained major dismissals of complex cases in federal and state courts across the country, won bet-the-company cases that threatened the existence of our clients’ businesses and business models, vindicated individuals in aggressive white-collar prosecutions, and successfully counseled clients in fast-moving investigations. Our teams have represented clients in litigation, investigations and appeals brought by the SEC, the DOJ, and a number of state Attorneys General. We also work in tandem with the DOJ, the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in New York, and the New York State Attorney General’s Office, among other prosecutors and agencies.
