Since our founding in 1983, we have prosecuted many of the most high-profile class actions in history, recovering over $40 billion on behalf of plaintiff-classes.

Our reputation for integrity and competence has won us praise from the bench, the respect of our adversaries, and the allegiance of our clients.

This position presents an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated, entrepreneurial candidate who is passionate about plaintiff-side litigation and thinks critically and creatively about potential legal claims and litigation strategy.

While representing investors in complex cases, our litigators work towards achieving precedent-setting reforms to increase transparency, correct economic or negotiating imbalances, hold wrongdoers accountable and improve corporate business practices. BLB&G has recorded more multi-billion-dollar recoveries than any other firm, including in cases against WorldCom ($6.2 billion), Cendant ($3.3 billion), Bank of America ($2.4 billion), Nortel ($1.07 billion) and Merck ($1.05 billion).

  • Entrepreneurial mindset, a proactive approach, and the readiness to take opportunity and run with it is necessary
