Securities Litigation, 02-MD-01335 (D.N.H., Dec. 19, 2007).​

“Additionally, the Court finds that Class Counsel’s performance was in many respects exceptional, with the result that, as noted, the class is poised to enjoy a substantially larger per share recovery than the recovery enjoyed by numerous large and sophisticated plaintiffs who separately settled their claims.”  U.S. District Judge approving a $3 billion settlement, then representing the largest securities class action settlement in a decade and the fifth largest in history. In re Petrobras Securities Litigation, 14-CV-9662 (S.D.N.Y., June 6, 2018).​

“Though the recovery here—$730 million—represents only a fraction of the possible recovery estimated by plaintiffs’ damages experts—$3 billion—that fraction is still an impressive result. This observation is particularly meaningful when the percentage of the highest possible recovery here is compared to the percentage of the highest possible recovery in comparable cases.” U.S. District Judge approving a $730 million settlement involving allegations that Citigroup concealed its exposure to subprime mortgage debt on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis. The $730 million settlement then marked the second largest recovery under Section 11 of the Securities Act in the statute’s history. In re Citigroup Inc. Bond Litigation, 08-CV-9522 (S.D.N.Y., Dec. 19, 2013).

​“Each of the firms that comprise the Committee has tremendous experience in complex securities litigation. They have secured multi-million-dollar settlements in a number of class actions, have won awards for their advocacy, and been praised by judges in other litigation… They are knowledgeable about the issues and have vigorously represented the interests of class members.”  U.S. District Judge approving a combined $586 million settlement of 309 separate cases arising from the dot.com IPOs in the 1990’s.  In re Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21-MC-92 (S.D.N.Y., Oct. 5, 2009).

​“. . . Plaintiffs maintain that Class Counsel invested time and resources, as well as participated in intense and protracted settlement negotiations, and that Class Counsel have considerable experience in litigating similar class actions. . .  The Court has no reason to doubt this assertion, which is evidenced by Counsel’s exemplary, zealous, and thorough representation of Settlement Class members at all stages of the litigation and the settlement process.”  U.S. District Judge granting final approval to a $15 million antitrust class settlement on behalf of a multi-state class of indirect purchasers of Viega ProPress® copper press fittings.  Al’s Discount Plumbing et. al., v.
