The ‘skilled and dedicated’ team at ‘sophisticated high-end’ New York-based plaintiff firm Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP has an excellent relationship with institutional investors. Working closely with in-house investigators, the firm’s rigorous evaluation process ensures that cases that do proceed have been closely vetted and comprehensively worked up, ensuring that the team achieves an excellent success rate in clearing the high pleading standards associated with a motion to dismiss. With a large number of former government attorneys among its ranks, the firm also displays a very prosecutorial mindset, ensuring when a case does proceed past a motion to dismiss/summary judgment stage typically the team secures large settlements for clients. Former prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York Michael Canty has vast trial experience, which has translated to a series of excellent successes in private practice, including his work alongside the ‘extremely thoughtful’ Jonathan Gardner for Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho in achieving a $125m settlement in a high-profile securities fraud case against Alexion Pharmaceuticals. Alfred Fatale III has developed an excellent reputation in handling Section 11 IPO cases; he recently secured a $200m settlement for Boston Retirement System and the Class in relation to the Uber IPO. The ‘attentive, professional, and responsive’ Carol Villegas has a flourishing domestic practice which includes ongoing securities litigation matters against Boeing, PayPal and DocuSign, inter alia, and has also been pivotal to the firm’s increased outreach for institutional investors in Europe. The arrival in June 2024 of Lauren Ormsbee from Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP further strengthens the team that is co-headed by Gardner and firm chairman Christopher Keller.
