Juan Carlos Sanchez

Juan Carlos “J.C.” Sanchez is a partner in Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP’s San Diego office. He specializes in complex securities litigation and has extensive experience advising investors on their exposure to securities fraud and advising them on their litigation options for recovering losses. He has advised institutional and retail investors in nearly 70 securities class actions that yielded more than $1.5 billion in class-wide recoveries.

Sanchez was a key member of the litigation team that secured the largest shareholder derivative recovery ever in Tennessee and the Sixth Circuit and unprecedented corporate governance reforms in In re Community Health Sys., Inc. S’holder Derivative Litig. More recently, Sanchez was a member of the Robbins Geller litigation team that ultimately obtained a $434 million settlement in In re Under Armour Sec. Litig., a case that was previously dismissed with prejudice in 2019 but then resurrected through a highly unusual procedural maneuver – a successful motion asking the federal judge who had dismissed the case to issue an indicative opinion informing the Fourth Circuit that he would revive the original case if it were remanded to him. The $434 million recovery is the second largest securities fraud settlement ever in the Fourth Circuit and is among the top 50 largest such recoveries in U.S. history. Beyond securities litigation, Sanchez’s representation of California passengers in a landmark consumer and civil rights case against Greyhound Lines, Inc. led to a ruling recognizing that transit passengers do not check their rights and dignity at the bus door.  Sanchez was named a Leading Litigator in America as well as a Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyer by Lawdragon, and has been included in the 500 X - The Next Generation Lawdragon guide.
