Skilled Representation For Employment Disputes
As counsel for plaintiffs, we have represented numerous classes in securities fraud, deceptive practices and discrimination litigation, and helped obtain billions of dollars for class members in securities and employment class actions. For example, we served as co-counsel and represented the securities claimants in the Enron securities class action brought in Houston and the related bankruptcy cases in New York and Texas, resulting in the largest securities litigation settlements in U.S. history.
Whether representing plaintiffs or defendants, we have an unwavering focus on our clients’ interests. Our goal is to provide exceptionally efficient and responsive service, along with fee arrangements tailored to each class action representation. The fees in plaintiff class actions are usually contingent upon success and subject to court approval.
If you would like to speak with a member of our class action litigation group to discuss legal representation, or have any other question, please contact our Miami, Fort Lauderdale or Tampa office. We will respond promptly and arrange for you to speak with a member of the firm with the appropriate experience.
