Geoffrey Jarvis, a director with Grant & Eisenhofer, focuses on securities litigation for institutional investors. He had a major role in the Oxford Health Plans Securities Litigation and the DaimlerChrysler Securities Litigation, both of which were among the top ten securities settlements in U.S. history at the time they were resolved. Mr. Jarvis also has been involved in a number of actions before the Delaware Chancery Court, including a Delaware appraisal case that resulted in a favorable decision for the firm’s client after trial.  At the present time, he has primary responsibility for a number of cases in which Grant & Eisenhofer clients have opted-out of class actions and also has a lead role in class actions pending against Tyco, Alstom and Sprint.
