Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP

Primarily based out of its New York headquarters, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP's pre-eminent securities litigation offering combines subject matter mastery with strategic procedural and advocacy smarts to good effect for many household public companies and financial services entities caught in the cross-hairs of the plaintiff’s class action bar and in relation to parallel government enforcement actions. It draws upon a trial-ready approach which leverages the expertise of highly skilled advocates, including the vastly experienced Brad Karp and Daniel Kramer. Susanna M. Buergel has developed a particularly strong relationship among financial services clients, including for Citigroup – where she previously served as deputy general counsel – acting for the bank in litigation relating to its own trading activity, as well as often in disputes where they acted as underwriters on securities offerings. ‘Able to put his finger on just the right argument on behalf of his clients’, Andrew J. Ehrlich has exceptional trial skills which he utilizes to good effect across a range of securities litigation matters for public companies, as well as for private equity sponsors on securities and derivative litigation concerning their portfolio company investments. Audra Soloway co-heads the team alongside Ehrlich and Buergel, recently securing a notable high-profile victory before the SDNY for a gold mining company when the court denied class certification applying the legal standard for rebutting price impact in securities class actions articulated in the Supreme Court decision she helped secure for Goldman Sachs several years prior.
