Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP‘s experience in the courtroom is at the heart of its offering in securities and M&A-related cases. For instance, lead partner Michael Swartz secured a major victory for Politan Capital Management LP in a case that could have effectively eliminated shareholder activism as an asset class. The firm is well-regarded for its work in large securities class actions, related derivative litigations and ERISA actions, and has notable expertise in niches such as investment funds litigation, short-swing cases, structured products and SPAC-related matters. William Gussman, who frequently acts for hedge funds, private equity firms, corporations, investment banks, prime brokers, and lenders, and Julia Beskin, who joined from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, are also key members of the securities litigation group.
