Janoski recently served on the litigation team in In re Alphabet, Inc. Securities Litigation representing plaintiffs in a securities fraud case where Robbins Geller achieved a $350 million recovery. The recovery is the largest ever privacy or cybersecurity-related securities class action recovery and the Ninth Circuit’s largest ever securities class action recovery following a complete dismissal. Marco also served on the litigation teams in two securities fraud cases that are among the top ten securities recoveries of 2023: In re Envision Healthcare Corporation Securities Litigation ($177.5 million recovery) and Louisiana Sheriffs’ Pension & Relief Fund v.

Likewise, he and a team of Firm lawyers secured a $350 million settlement on the eve of trial in 2020 in Smilovits v.
