Experienced

Wolf Popper LLP is a highly experienced securities class action litigation firm located in New York City. Since its founding nearly sixty years ago, Wolf Popper has been a leader in efforts to protect the interests of defrauded investors, prosecuting thousands of actions under federal and state laws throughout the United States. The Firm's efforts have resulted in recoveries of billions of dollars for aggrieved parties.

Reputation for success

Wolf Popper's distinguished reputation is well-known and widely respected. The Firm has one of the longest-standing practices in the field of securities class action litigation, with unparalleled expertise. Wolf Popper's careful factual and legal research and selective prosecution of securities actions has resulted in a significant percentage of its actions being sustained over motions to dismiss, or settled prior to determination of motions to dismiss, particularly under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the "PSLRA").

Insight

The Firm's long-established role in the plaintiff's securities bar provides its clients with an understanding and insight into federal securities laws that could only be obtained through years of practice in the field. For example, in approving a recent settlement in In re TCW/DW North American Government Income Trust Securities Litigation, the District Court commended Wolf Popper for its "highly competent" representation of the Class.* TCW/DW is very significant because it was obtained in a complex area of the law where other firms had been unable to obtain any recovery for their clients.
