Overview
Creative, client-focused and resourceful, Grant & Eisenhofer strives to safeguard the financial markets for investors, hold corporate wrongdoers accountable, improve corporate business practices and increase transparency.
For both public and private institutional investors, we protect investors’ rights and fight zealously for the recovery of appropriate damages in significant class action securities cases. Our results speak for themselves, comprising some of the largest securities class actions recoveries in U.S. history, including a $3.2 billion settlement with Tyco International and several multi-hundred-million-dollar recoveries from other companies. We attribute these notable outcomes to being extremely discerning in the cases we present, crafting innovative case strategies, and tailoring our recommendations to the specific interests and needs of each client.
What we See on the Horizon
A Period of Significant Deregulation
- SEC losing funding and taking a step back with respect to its role, policing the markets
- Increasingly important that private attorneys general and the private plaintiffs’ bar step up their role in private enforcement
- Government becoming increasingly lenient with respect to financial fraud, emboldening corporate wrongdoers and chilling enforcement.
Changing Technologies Creating New Opportunities for Fraud
- Cryptocurrency cases are steadily increasing and are expected to continue to increase going forward.
- Cases related to AI present a similar trend. In both instances, the novelty of the technology, coupled with investors’ disparity of knowledge regarding these new concepts, increase the likelihood of fraud.
Rates of Dismissal on the Rise
- NERA H1 2025 update indicating a “substantial rise” in dismissals.
- Plaintiffs facing potentially tougher certification or pleading standards needing the best and most experienced counsel to counter.
The Reason Plaintiffs Hire Us
While taking on large companies may seem daunting, investors must remember they are the ones providing the capital. This earns them the right to have a seat at the table, and to have their voices heard. The Grant & Eisenhofer U.S. Securities team aims to help investors understand this – and then realize it through thoughtful and meritorious legal action, brought by a firm that can hold its own against any defense firm out there.
Many of the institutional investors we represent in turn represent, and stand in for, plumbers and pipefitters, bakers and teachers, retired police officers and firefighters and other hard-working individuals. That is who we are ultimately fighting for, and whose investments – often, also retirement savings – we will never stop trying to preserve and protect. Here is just a glimpse of some of our multi-hundred-million-dollar recoveries:
- Pfizer Inc. ($486 million)
- Global Crossing ($448 million)
- Refco Inc. ($422 million total class recovery)
- Marsh & McLennan ($400 million)
- Delphi Corp. ($325 million)
- General Motors ($303 million)
- DaimlerChrysler ($300 million)
- Oxford Health ($300 million)
- Safety-Kleen Corporation ($276 million)
- Merck & Co. ($215 million)
- J.P. Morgan ($150 million)
- Parmalat ($110 million)
