The securities litigation practice at Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP in New York has undergone many changes in the last year, as the mantle of leading the practice has been passed on a younger generation. Firm chair Christopher Keller and head of litigation Jonathan Gardner still oversee the practice, but the leadership role is now in the hands of highly respected litigators Carol Villegas and Michael Canty. Clients note that they are ‘very responsive to any questions that arise, and handle matters in a very professional manner’. Villegas, is currently leading a securities class action against PayPal Holdings, Inc., which alleges that the company touted strong growth to get new accounts but was fueling this growth by essentially paying people to sign up, and that ‘bot farms’ were used to create fake accounts. Working with Eric Belfi, Villegas also secured a $73m recovery in a case against data analytics company Nielsen, which was alleged to have misrepresented the strength of its consumer purchasing measurement business, and the impact of European data privacy regulations. Canty’s recent track record includes working with Michael Rogers to secure a $125m settlement in a case against Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Up-and-coming partner James Christie also plays a key role in the practice. Thomas Dubbs and James Johnson recently retired from the firm.
