The securities litigation and SEC enforcement teams at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP are highly regarded by both peers and clients, having built up an enviable track record of success in securities class actions, shareholder derivative litigation, and parallel SEC and DOJ investigations and enforcement actions. The firm handles high-profile cases for large corporate issuers in state and federal courts across the country including recent matters in California, Delaware, New York, Texas, and its partner group spans the country from East to West Coast. Brian Lutz in San Francisco co-chairs the practice with Monica Loseman in Denver and Craig Varnen in Los Angeles. Lutz continues to act for Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, in securities class action and shareholder derivative litigation arising from the misuse of user data by Cambridge Analytica, and Facebook’s $5bn resolution of allegations by the Federal Trade Commission that the company violated a consent decree.
