Baker McKenzie ‘pursues all available legal theories’ for its clients. North America securities litigation chair Perrie Weiner has helped the firm build a prominent role in the market- it is frequently involved in high-profile regulatory actions and securities fraud cases. Weiner is noted for his ’analytical skills’ and recently secured the dismissal of a class action against Imunon that arose from the company’s work on Thermodox, a candidate drug for treating liver cancer. Clients also praise Aaron Goodman, Edward Totino and of counsel Ben Turner who are the main practitioners in Los Angeles. Goodman worked with Weiner to win a jurisdictional challenge in the Central District of California for a London-based client in a case concerning the assets of a Geneva trust worth approximately $1bn. Peter Tomczak and Jerome Tomas are the key partners in Chicago.
