A Broad Range of Experience with an Anchor in Securities Class Actions

Focusing on the field of securities class actions, the Pomerantz firm has successfully attacked the fraudulent activities of large corporations on behalf of victimized shareholders. Pomerantz is led by senior partner, Stanley M. Grossman, a nationally prominent securities litigator, who is the former president of the National Association of Securities and Commercial Law Attorneys ("NASCAT"). He has been invited to testify before various congressional committees concerning the securities laws and related pending legislation. Mr. Grossman practices with well-respected and experienced partners, all of whom also specialize in complex class litigation, as well as dedicated and knowledgeable associates and legal assistants.

Presently, the firm serves as lead or co-lead counsel in numerous major securities fraud class actions, and price fixing and other antitrust class actions.

Brooklyn Law School sponsors the Abraham L. Pomerantz Lecture Series annually, which focuses on issues pertinent to shareholder rights.

The Pomerantz Firm's Major Practice Areas are:

• Securities Litigation: The Firm is nationally recognized as a premier securities class action litigation firm. Such actions typically concern securities whose price has been artificially inflated due to misleading statements or omissions.
  
  
• Antitrust Litigation: The Firm has a very active antitrust practice. These cases concern a variety of wrongful business practices in restraint of competition including price-fixing, attempted monopolization, and customer allocation. In such cases, businesses and/or individuals have been injured as a result of conduct which is anti-competitive in nature.
  
  
• Shareholder Derivative Actions: In these cases, where suit is brought by a shareholder on behalf of a company to recover for losses sustained by the misconduct of corporate insiders or other parties, the Firm has played a substantial leadership role.
  
  
• HMO and ERISA Litigation: The Firm has been at the forefront in developing and prosecuting class actions designed to protect both patients and doctors from the abuses of managed care.
  
  
• Consumer Litigation: The Firm has also brought a number of important consumer protection, deceptive practices and automobile defect cases on behalf of our clients.
