$586 Million Settlement – Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation

Milberg represented investors in 310 securities class actions alleging a market manipulation scheme involving hundreds of initial public offerings and approximately 55 defendant investment banks. This scheme, plaintiffs alleged, significantly contributed to the high-tech “bubble” of the late 1990s and early 2000. In approving a $586 million settlement in 2009, the court described the law firms on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee as the “cream of the crop.”
