Pomerantz LLP

Primarily based in New York but with a presence in Chicago and Los Angeles, Pomerantz LLP has the expertise and geographical diversity to handle a significant volume of cases for investors. ‘Knowledgeable and approachable’ managing partner and team head Jeremy Lieberman is pivotal to the firm’s success, taking the lead on many of the firm’s key files, including his work for class plaintiffs in securing a $433.5m settlement against Alibaba. Emma Gilmore is a key contact who gained prominence in the market for her work alongside Lieberman on the firm’s ground-breaking $3bn settlement in the Petrobas class action, and also continues to thrive, including her work for an investor class when she secured a $74m settlement in relation to the Grenfell Tower fire in the UK. Murielle Steven Walsh is at the forefront of the firm’s success in litigating ESG-related securities fraud cases. Michael Wernke is also a key senior member of the team and continues to act as co-lead counsel in a proposed securities class action brought against Nikola Corp, alleging that it systematically misled investors through deceptive products, painting a fictitious portrait of success. In Los Angeles, Jennifer Pafiti has ’excellent industry experience’ which she imparts to good effect in her role as head of client services. All named practitioners are based out of New York, unless otherwise indicated.
