When markets are fair and honest, companies can raise capital more efficiently, and investors – large and small – can participate with confidence. I’ve successfully prosecuted some of the largest, most complex securities fraud cases in history, recovering more than $2.5 billion on behalf of injured investors. Over the course of my career, I’ve repeatedly seen how strong private enforcement of the securities laws benefits investors in ways that flow through to the broader economy: it deters misconduct, incentivizes transparency, and helps ensure that markets function as they should. That’s why I remain committed to holding wrongdoers accountable, and why I am proud to help safeguard the integrity of our financial system.
Overview
Abe Alexander is a principal at Grant & Eisenhofer, where he focuses on securities fraud litigation.
Prior to joining G&E, Mr. Alexander helped recover over $1.06 billion on behalf of injured investors as a principal member of the trial team prosecuting In re Merck Vioxx Securities. The case, which asserted claims arising out of the Defendants’ alleged misrepresentations concerning the safety profile of Merck’s pain-killer, VIOXX, was settled shortly before trial and after more than 10 years of litigation, during which time plaintiffs achieved a unanimous and groundbreaking victory for investors at the U.S. Supreme Court. The settlement is the largest securities recovery ever achieved against a pharmaceutical company.
