Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.
At Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., securities litigation is a key area of expertise in many of its offices across the US, and the firm frequently acts for clients in the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, retail, insurance and financial services sectors. Sean Prosser in San Diego secured the full voluntary dismissal of that case. With Adam Sisitsky having left to take up a role in the Massachusetts State Court, Jack Sylvia in Boston and Douglas Baumstein in New York now lead the practice. Ellen Shapiro in New York plays an increasingly prominent role in the practice having recently assisted Prosser with actions against financial technology company RYVYL Inc. Also in New York, Jason Vigna, who made his name in cases arising from Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, is also highly active.
