WHY US?

 

Our trial attorneys represent individuals in complex, precedent-setting litigation pending in federal and state courts throughout the country, including in class actions, multidistrict litigation, and other high-stakes matters. We operate on a contingent-fee model, with an entrepreneurial culture that embraces new ideas. Here, creativity is celebrated, taking initiative is rewarded, and team members are afforded the opportunity and resources to develop into outstanding legal professionals while doing good.

 

In recent years, our team has received recognition from numerous sources, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the National Law Journal. Courts have referred to our work as “ground-breaking,” “unique and unparalleled,” and “historic,” and our practice has been labeled “elite.” As examples of the precedent-setting nature of our work, we filed the first excessive fee class actions on behalf of retirement plan participants (and have obtained the largest results in such cases), have had multiple cases before the United States Supreme Court in recent years (including a case in January 2025), and in the last decade alone have obtained relief for clients valued at over $1.5 billion.
