Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP in New York has a 21-partner practice that is ‘very knowledgeable and experienced’, and clients remark that the firm is ‘superb in their securities litigation’. It represents more than 220 institutional investors, among them 130 public pension plans, with collective assets under management in excess of $2.5 trillion. Over the years, the firm has recovered more than $18bn for investors, among its key victories being In re SCANA Corporation Securities Litigation, in which it recovered $192.5m. ‘The people I have worked with are very personable and knowledgeable’, remarks one client, noting that ‘not every firm has the ability to encompass both’. Chairman Christopher Keller and head of litigation Jonathan Gardner oversee the practice, which includes standout partner Thomas Dubbs. Dubbs and James Johnson are acting as co-lead counsel in a high-profile case based on Goldman Sachs’s concealment of misconduct related to multiple collateralized debt obligations shorting the mortgage market leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. Carol Villegas, who secured a $73m settlement in a securities class action against data analytics company Nielsen, is one of the most prominent women in the securities litigation field. Clients also single out Michael Rogers and up-and-coming partner James Christie for praise. Both are key to a securities class action against EV company Nikola Corporation.
