Morrison Foerster has ‘a breadth of knowledge and experience' regarding complex securities litigation defense cases. Whether it is securities class actions, derivative cases, or SEC investigations, the firm is able to call on experienced litigators across the US to handle high-profile conflicts. Jordan Eth in San Francisco, ’spectacular attorney‘ Haimavathi Marlier in New York, and James Koukios in Washington DC are co-chairs of the securities litigation, enforcement and white-collar defense practice. Notably, Marlier and New York-based Jamie Levitt, defended venture fund LaunchCapital LLC and Woody Benson, a director of co-defendant Atonomi, in a securities class action. The case was successfully settled. Anna Erickson White is the key contact in San Francisco. She worked with Ryan Keats to assist enterprise data platform company Cloudera, Inc. with a class action alleging it made misleading statements about its cloud-native products.
