With increasing global investments in the US securities markets and a wave of corporate fraud that knows no geographic boundaries, financial institutions throughout the world require an international team of professionals to safeguard their interests.  In response to our clients' needs, Labaton Sucharow has formed alliances and cooperation relationships with law firms in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, France, England, Canada and Australia, to create a truly international law practice dedicated to representing institutional investors in class actions and complex securities cases. Currently, Labaton Sucharow represents international clients in several cases, including actions against British Petroleum and Vivendi Universal S.A.

Having secured record recoveries and effected significant corporate governance reforms in several of the largest and most prominent securities and antitrust cases in history, we are regularly called upon to represent pension funds, banks, hedge funds, unions, asset managers and other financial institutions across the globe, including, in particular, clients throughout the US, Europe and Canada.

In addition to representing their interests in full-scale litigation, our international clients value our portfolio monitoring services whereby we proactively monitor our clients’ portfolios.  An innovative and proprietary program cross-checks our clients’ holdings and flags those instances where the client is a shareholder in a company accused of misconduct or other wrongdoing.  When we identify potential opportunities for loss recovery, we examine the data thoroughly, compute losses based on multiple methodologies, and carefully evaluate each potential case.  We only contact clients to see if they wish to take an active role in potential cases that are meritorious and appear to have a good chance of success.  In this way, we are able to serve as “eyes and ears” on the ground for clients that oversee significant portfolios and simply cannot afford interruption of their day-to-day business activities.

Global reach.  Extraordinary results.  Institutional investors across the globe turn to Labaton Sucharow.
