The 2024 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers

We’re honored to introduce The 2024 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers.

These lawyers go to bat when their clients have been swindled, defrauded, shut out of markets, bamboozled and just plain lied to.

In the U.S., we pride ourselves on competition; we also expect the game to be fair. But in many industries and for many people, it’s not. Finding a lawyer who will stand up for you can feel impossible when you may face the loss of your business, your savings, an opportunity, your security.

That’s why we’re particularly proud to recognize this group and the law firms they represent. This guide underscores the tremendous strength a client gains when they are represented by a handful of firms. Some firms – capped by the forces of Susman Godfrey and Quinn Emanuel – artfully represent both sides of the ‘V’ in commercial litigation of all sorts, bringing in billions for righteous claims. Others specialize more in the financial side of claims with equal impact – Robbins Geller; Bernstein Litowitz; Pomerantz. We also recognize standout whistleblower and antitrust firms – both of which are having ‘a moment’ – alongside dozens of outstanding firms dedicated to helping individuals and businesses who’ve suffered financial injustice.

It’s the season to play ball. So here’s to those who put themselves on the line for a fair game.

We selected members of this guide through our time-honed process of submissions, independent research and vetting with friends and foes. We are extremely grateful for the wonderful submissions we received, as they complement and enhance our mission to provide the best intelligence available on individual lawyers.

This guide is 33 percent female and 19 percent inclusive. Those designated with an asterisk are members of our prestigious Hall of Fame.
