Labaton Keller Sucharow has once again earned distinction as a leading force in the plaintiffs bar in Chambers & Partners USA’s 2026 guide, which recognizes the nation’s top lawyers and law firms.  This recognition reflects the Firm’s commitment to delivering exceptional results for clients and advancing standards of excellence in securities litigation and Delaware Chancery plaintiff litigation.

The Firm received three practice group rankings and was recognized for “great diligence in investigating and pursuing cases,” with an exceptional team of attorneys who “excel at establishing and maintaining congenial and trusting relationships.”  Chambers notes that clients praised our Securities Litigation Practice for its “deep knowledge of federal securities law, class action procedure and trial practice” as well as its litigation team with “unmatched matter expertise.”  The guide also highlights our Corporate Governance & Shareholder Rights Litigation Practice for its “string of enviable successes,” with clients commending the team’s remarkable “depth of knowledge in the field.”

In addition, six of the Firm’s partners were individually ranked as Notable Practitioners in recognition of their significant achievements, with Partners Carol C. Villegas and Ned Weinberger earning a Band 1 ranking.  Those selected were described by clients as “at the top of the charts,” “gifted advocates,” and “creative and effective litigators” who possess “impeccable judgment and outstanding categorical knowledge.”
