About
History: Pomerantz LLP is one of the most respected law firms in the United States dedicated to representing investors. The firm was founded in 1936 by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, widely regarded as a legal pioneer and “dean” of the plaintiffs’ securities bar, who helped secure the right of investors to bring class and derivative actions. Leadership: Today, led by managing partner Jeremy A Lieberman, the firm maintains the commitments to excellence and integrity passed down by Abe Pomerantz. Results: In 2018, Pomerantz achieved a historic $3bn settlement for defrauded investors as well as precedent-setting legal rulings, in In re Petrobras Securities Litigation. Pomerantz consistently shapes the law, having won landmark decisions that expanded and protected investor rights and initiated historic corporate governance reforms, including securing the rights of US and foreign institutions that purchased BP shares abroad to bring common law claims in US court.
