Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP has a deep bench of securities litigators in New York that is ‘without peer‘. Susanna Buergel, Andrew Ehrlich and Audra Soloway are the practice co-chairs. Ehrlich’s highlights include a landmark victory for The Blackstone Group and Blackstone Alternative Asset Management in a $50bn derivative action. Firm chair Brad Karp, who also played a key role in that matter, is one of several standout partners having built a track record of success for prominent clients, among them JPMorgan Chase and Nikola Corporation. Highly regarded Daniel Kramer has a ‘well-established reputation for both ethical and intellectual integrity‘. He recently worked with Soloway to defend Amazon in a class action filed by shareholders. Geoffrey Chepiga is sought after for both securities litigation and M&A-related cases, and Gregory Laufer is a key advisor to Goldman Sachs.
