Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Has Been Named to The National Law Journal’s Plaintiffs’ Hot List

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP (“Robbins Geller”) has been named to The National Law Journal’s 2014 “Plaintiffs’ Hot List.” The “Plaintiffs’ Hot List” is announced annually and is comprised of the top plaintiffs law firms in the United States.

Each year, The National Law Journal “takes the pulse of the plaintiffs’ bar by examining its most successful practices.” In the article, The National Law Journal highlights some of Robbins Geller’s most “groundbreaking” verdicts and settlements of the last year, involving some of the most powerful banks and companies in the nation.

The National Law Journal noted: “In the 10 years that Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd has been in operation, it’s scored a string of impressive knockouts in complex securities litigation cases.” One of those cases was Household International. After 11 years of hard-fought litigation, Robbins Geller achieved a judgment of $2.46 billion against Household International, now HSBC Finance Corp. The Household judgment is the largest judgment following a securities fraud class action trial in history.

Robbins Geller was also recognized for its largest settlement of 2013, In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation. Judge John Gleeson of the Eastern District of New York granted final approval in December 2013 of the $5.7 billion recovery. This case is believed to be the largest antitrust class action recovery of all time, and contains significant changes to rules regarding acceptance of Visa and MasterCard credit cards.

Robbins Geller represents U.S. and international institutional investors in contingency-based securities and corporate litigation. With more than 200 lawyers in ten offices, the firm represents hundreds of public and multi-employer pension funds with combined assets under management in excess of $2 trillion. The firm has obtained many of the largest recoveries in history and has been ranked number one in the number of shareholder class action recoveries in MSCI’s Top SCAS 50 every year since 2003.
