Clients note that the firm is ’forward-thinking about issues that affect institutional investors'. The firm, which has recovered more than $30bn for clients over the last 16 years, is one of very few to have successfully taken securities actions through trial. Practice heads Jay Eisenhofer, who has been counsel in more multi-hundred million dollar cases than any other securities litigator, and Daniel Berger are recognised as stellar class action lawyers and lead a team of ‘smart and creative' attorneys. Together, they acted for New Mexico State Investment Council and other plaintiffs that purchased American Depository Shares of Chinese educational and tutoring services company TAL Education Group, which is alleged to have engaged in false advertising and marketing practices. Vastly experienced litigators Barbara Hart and Caitlyn Moyna are known for their prowess in US and foreign securities fraud class action and opt-out litigation, shareholder derivative actions, and antitrust matters. Both are working with Eisenhofer and Berger as co-lead counsel in a securities class action against ExxonMobil Corp concerning statements about the valuation and output potential of its Permian Basin oilfield assets.
