The ‘aggressive and tactical litigation team’ at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP in New York acts for both plaintiffs and defendants in securities litigation. Its defense work is frequently for large and public national and international companies. The firm recently negotiated a $430m cash settlement for Teva Pharmaceuticals in one of the largest securities class actions in recent years. Sheron Korpus, Michael Hanin and Stephen Tountas lead the ‘incredibly responsive and technical’ practice, in which emerging partner talent Andrew Schwartz plays an increasingly prominent role.
