Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP

The nationwide team at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is well-placed to handle large-scale securities litigation for public and multi-employer pension funds, fund managers, banks and insurance companies, irrespective of geographical location. The team deploys a trial-ready approach, which ensures that it regularly secures high-value settlements in many of the highest-profile cases in the market. In 2024, it secured some of the largest US securities fraud recoveries, including the $490m settlement secured against Apple by San Francisco partner Shawn Williams in his role as lead counsel for injured investors stemming from claims that the tech giant misled investors about weakening demand for iPhones in China in 2019. San Diego-based founding partner Darren Robbins also remains at the forefront of many of the highest-profile successes for the firm, not only from a monetary perspective, but also often in the context of bringing about corporate governance reform. Also based in San Diego, Danielle Myers, who is responsible for overseeing the firm’s portfolio monitoring program, and Brian Cochran, who is particularly skilled at handling case investigation and initiation and lead plaintiff issues arising under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are key members of the team, with both recently handling a number of cutting-edge matters regarding cryptocurrency and SPACs. Based in New York, San Diego and Florida, respectively, name partners Samuel Rudman; Michael Dowd; and Paul Geller co-head the team alongside Robbins.
