Institutional Investors
In the past four decades, Cohen Milstein has developed worldwide expertise as counsel for U.S. and non-U.S. institutional investors who have been the victims of securities fraud. By applying various innovative legal theories and litigation strategies, we have been able to recover billions of dollars for our clients in some of the largest and most demanding securities actions, including Lucent Technologies, Parmalat, WorldCom and the Merrill Lynch Analyst Reports cases.
But we do more than just recover money for institutional investors, we also implement good governance provisions through settlements. This can help ensure that the future conduct of a company’s officers and directors will better reflect the best interests of its long-term investors.
To alert our institutional investor clients to those cases where the allegations of fraud are strong and where they have suffered a significant loss, we provide portfolio monitoring and case evaluation services specifically tailored to each client’s needs. Our Portfolio Monitoring Protocolsm includes not only the evaluation of each potential or newly-flied securities fraud action, but also the collection of data on recently-announced securities settlements. This enables us to alert clients to those actions where monies have been recovered for which they are entitled to make a claim.
Investors operate in an interconnected global financial marketplace, requiring law firms specializing in securities fraud to be effective no matter how far they must journey to represent their clients. In that regard, no other firm can match the team of legal experts Cohen Milstein has assembled in Europe and throughout the world, allowing us to offer our clients a unique global network of experienced and successful legal advisors. This is a key issue for any institutional investor with non-U.S. investments.
We also have extensive experience prosecuting non-U.S. companies and we advise non-U.S. investors on U.S. litigation. We are currently representing four European institutional investors as co-lead counsel in In re Parmalat Securities Litigation, Europe’s version of the Enron scandal, where billions of dollars turned up missing and numerous corporate executives have been indicted and are imprisoned.
