Jeff A. Almeida

After 15 years of active litigation work, on a diverse set of cases that are “the bread and butter” of G&E’s corporate and securities practice, Jeff is now part of our Executive Committee, and his role has shifted from litigating cases to identifying strong cases of corporate fraud and opportunities for financial recoveries. He works directly with many of G&E’s top institutional investor clients to craft litigation strategies designed to mold or influence corporate policy and/or punish corporate wrongdoers.

Clients appreciate Jeff’s candid approach and assessment of their cases, as well as the time he takes to understand their specific situations and subjective needs.

For the past several years, G&E has leveraged Jeff’s experience and success in stockholder litigation—and his resulting judgment and insights—to manage the firm’s development and intake of new cases. He conducts in-depth investigations into dozens of potential securities fraud claims and other derivative and corporate governance matters each year and develops legal theories designed to maximize client recoveries.

Before joining G&E, Jeff spent six years at a major Philadelphia defense firm, where he practiced in the areas of complex commercial litigation and class action defense.
