Vincent Sama > Seyfarth Shaw LLP > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Seyfarth Shaw LLP has ‘a strong team up and down the line – no gaps’, according to clients, who note that the firm has ‘impressive breadth of knowledge and experience’. William Prickett in Boston and New York partners Gregory Markel and Vincent Sama are co-chairs of the securities and fiduciary duty litigation practice. Markel, who is ‘among the most respected, learned and admired lawyers in the field of securities litigation’, acted for officers and directors of a tech company in Silicon Valleys in two 10b5 cases alleging misrepresentations and omissions concerning the prospects for the company. The case ultimately settled after five years of litigation. Sama is acting for inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment services provider AAC Holdings in a securities class action and a related litigation-trustee matter arising out of the company’s bankruptcy. Co-chair of the firm’s national whistleblower team Christopher Robertson is ‘incredibly calm through difficult and tumultuous times’.
