When large businesses engage in conduct designed to benefit themselves at the expense of their clients or customers, it is often difficult for the individual who has been injured by the conduct to recover. The resources of large companies make it an uphill battle. Our firm, however, has successfully litigated complex cases for individuals seeking to recover losses in these circumstances. For example, the firm negotiated a confidential settlement in a case brought against Quellos, a large West Coast hedge fund, the international accounting firm KPMG, and Wachovia Bank, one of the largest banks in the United States, arising out of fraudulent tax shelters sold to hundreds of individual investors. It has also successfully represented individuals in various other business-related litigation.
