Proskauer Rose LLP is well-regarded in particular for its ability to handle arbitration and litigation in the asset management, sport, media, and life sciences spaces, though the team is active across a wide spectrum of commercial disputes. Litigation department chair Bart Williams is a key name for corporate investigations and white collar criminal cases, while vice-chair Michael Mervis is noted for his handling of cases in the real estate and entertainment spaces. Head of securities litigation Timothy Mungovan is based in Boston and routinely advises asset management clients on restructurings and bankruptcy matters in addition to handling private fund disputes. Jonathan Weiss is a key point of contact for both plaintiff and defense-side work in antitrust cases, class action suits, and securities litigation.

Proskauer Rose LLP‘s litigation group is ‘a delight to work with‘. The firm handles the full range of litigation and regulatory enforcement matters, including SEC investigations and shareholder class actions. Boston-based practice head Timothy Mungovan is recognized as a skill trial attorney, and he recently secured the dismissal of claims of breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting, and unjust enrichment against asset management firm Shamrock Capital Advisors. Key partner Jonathan Richman and asset management and securities litigation specialist Joshua Newville, both based in New York, stand out for their defense of a securities class action against Obra Capital arising from a write-down of the fund’s assets. The arrival of Stephen Hibbard in Los Angeles from Jones Day and Washington DC-based regulatory enforcement specialist Robert Pommer, ‘a superstar in respect of SEC matters‘ from Kirkland & Ellis LLP bolster the firm’s capacity to handle high-stakes matters.
