Securities Litigation

For more than 40 years, Milberg has been the recognized leader in achieving remedies on behalf of investors.  For this reason, Milberg is repeatedly appointed by federal courts throughout the country to serve as lead class counsel in the most high profile securities fraud cases.  Milberg aggressively pursues these cases on behalf of institutional investors and other victims injured by corporate fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and other financial wrongdoing.

The Firm's securities practice group includes former prosecutors and SEC staff lawyers, as well as lawyers with extensive backgrounds in accounting and white collar crime.  The securities practice group is further supported by experienced in-house investigators and forensic accountants.  Referring to Milberg's reputation for successfully litigating securities class actions, The Wall Street Journal described the firm as "a plaintiff's law firm known for its fierce representation of aggrieved shareholders" (Edward Felsenthal, "A Lawyer Scorned: What Happens When Legal Heavyweights are in a Grudge Match?", Wall St. J., Nov. 7, 1997, at A1).  In the securities area, Milberg has been responsible for recovering billions of dollars on behalf of shareholders.  Read about some of our outstanding recoveries.

Milberg has made a commitment in securities fraud class actions to the representation of institutional investors, including public and private pension funds and Taft-Hartley funds, as well as individual investors.  We also actively monitor the investment portfolios of many institutional investors in order to provide alerts if significant losses due to fraud are identified in their holdings, so that they can make informed decisions about whether to initiate litigation in furtherance of their fiduciary duties as trustees.  Our no-cost Portfolio Monitoring program provides participants with the ability to identify, investigate, and react to potential wrongdoing by the companies in which they invest.
