Securities powerhouse Pomerantz LLP is at the forefront of significant wins for investors in the environmental space. Just in the last few years, they've reached a $110M settlement with Fiat Chrysler following its car emissions scandal, as well as a landmark settlement with BP over claims resulting from its 2010 oil spill. "If a corporation’s misstatements on environmental issues cause financial losses, that corporation should be held accountable and the shareholders should be vindicated," says managing partner Jeremy Lieberman. As environmental concerns continue to occupy investors' focus, they're pushing ahead. Currently, the firm is leading high-profile litigation against AT&T and Lumen Technologies: https://lnkd.in/dPXYH5Hc #legalnews #lawfirms #lawyers

Partner Joshua Silverman was one of the leaders in the litigation, continuing his record of significant securities cases that have taken him from the defense side to the plaintiffs’: https://lnkd.in/gDNu7cJU #legalnews #lawyers #lawfirms #securities

When Tyler Staggs and his firm, Spooner Staggs Trial Lawyers, made the jump from #insurance defense to the plaintiffs’ side at the start of 2024, it was a reaction to the sea change in the industry in recent years. The shifts “speak to the broader issue that’s happening to the American worker with the rise of AI and companies’ reliance on technology and algorithms over actual human expertise, nuance, and discernment,” says Staggs. Now, he and his team have set out to level the playing field for individuals, obtaining record victories – including a recent $5.5M award for an uninsured motorist: https://lnkd.in/eqiB8iuZ #legalnews #lawyers #lawfirms

Powerhouse litigator Lauren Ormsbee recently made the move to Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP’s New York office as a partner and key part of the litigation leadership team, continuing her focus on high-stakes plaintiffs’ securities litigation. We sat down with Ormsbee for a wide-ranging discussion about her career, often focusing on her goals as a leader and mentor. In particular, she shared how she has balanced being a leading lawyer with a fulfilling life outside of the office. “People are able to find that balance where you can have a very successful family life and a very successful career,” Ormsbee says. “It's not easy, but it's achievable. I really do think that's an inspiration – hopefully to men and women.” https://lnkd.in/gsakttzJ #lawyers #lawfirms #legalnews
