Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • Mike Berry, Christine Mackintosh, and their partners are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of fiduciary and derivative litigation, and they use the first principles of Delaware law to hold directors and officers accountable when their actions in an M&A transaction result in insiders enriching themselves at the expense of stockholders at large. This is a unique area of expertise for the firm relative to its competitors.
  • Grant & Eisenhofer has been an industry leader in M&A litigation for decades, and its recent successes in SPAC litigation have provided important accountability against SPAC founders who have caused enormous harm to public stockholders, particularly retail investors.
