Milbank‘s New York office is home to some of the most experienced securities litigators in the market, including the vastly experienced Sean Murphy, a specialist in private securities cases. Global head of litigation and arbitration George Canellos and practice group leader Alexander Lees oversee the securities litigation group, which has been involved in key areas of the market, notably SPAC-related cases. One example is the work of firm chair Scott Edelman and emerging partner talent Jed Schwartz for virtual behavioral healthcare company Talkspace in a case concerning its de-SPAC transaction. David Gelfand and Robert Hora also play key roles in the practice, and they continue to act for Rabobank in class action litigation. Edelman and key partner Grant Mainland are handling a high-profile case for former Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn in a complex matter concerning the issuance of bonds by Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.
