We’re delighted to present the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers in America for 2020.
These 500 lawyers specialize in representing plaintiffs in securities and other business litigation, antitrust, and whistleblower claims. We suspect 2020 is yielding a bumper crop in each of those categories. And while some of the business litigators occasionally play defense, the heart and soul of this list takes on the plight of plaintiffs who often can’t afford to go to court for the wrong they’ve been done. In many cases, these firms will shoulder the risk and take the cases on contingency.
Plaintiff financial litigation is the provenance of a handful of powerhouse firms, led once again by the one and only Susman Godfrey. It’s been a year of change, with founder and Lawdragon Hall of Famer Steve Susman passing away in July, and star L.A. trial lawyer Kalpana Srinivasan joining Houston’s Neal Manne as managing partner.
Susman Godfrey is joined by other heavyweights including Robbins Geller; Quinn Emanuel; Motley Rice; Lieff Cabraser; Labaton Sucharow; Cohen Milstein; Hausfeld; and Reid Collins.
We’re proud to recognize each and every member of this group, which is 31 percent female and more than 10 percent inclusive.
