New York Law Journal has recognized S&C as “Litigation Department of the Year” for Finance and named the Firm a finalist for its overall “Litigation Department of the Year” award. S&C has long led the field in financial services litigation and investigations and we remain the essential firm for today’s complex financial services disputes.
In the past year, S&C earned crucial victories and achievements for financial services clients, including:
- Advising FTX Trading in its Chapter 11 proceedings and related investigations;
- Resolving one of the largest corporate criminal cases ever for Allianz SE’s U.S. subsidiary, Allianz Global Investors U.S.;
- Securing a dismissal of all claims for Citigroup in a shareholder securities fraud class action claiming $17 billion in stock market value losses;
- Helping Wells Fargo reach a global settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, resolving novel consumer protection issues;
- Winning summary judgment for Barclays in a residential mortgage-backed securities case with a half-billion dollars at stake; and
- Obtaining a rare third appellate review of class certification for Goldman Sachs—marking just the second time a federal appeals court has granted a third interlocutory review of class certification since Rule 23(f) was adopted in 1998.
