As members of the World Investor Lawyer Network (WIN), whose mission is to ensure the integrity of global markets,* our attorneys work closely with top law firms in Europe and around the world. Examples of the matters we have handled with overseas lawyers include:
- Securities litigation or arbitration involving foreign investors
- International partnership or shareholder disputes
- Representation of foreign clients' interests when investing in U.S. markets
SBR is also frequently retained by non-U.S. lawyers and law firms, and their clients, to assist with investigations and to conduct discovery in aid of foreign proceedings.
In our case In re Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products NV Securities Litigation (D. Mass.), SBR served as co-lead counsel in cases brought against former executives, auditors and bankers of a bankrupt Belgian software company, and obtained settlements in excess of $180 million for class members, which constituted one of the largest recoveries ever for investors in a bankrupt company. In addition, a $115 million settlement with auditors was the third-largest securities class action involving an accounting firm at the time of the settlement; and the $60 million recovery from the bank which served as Lernout & Hauspie's principal financier was one of the largest settlements secured for class members against a secondary actor.
SBR is committed to achieving favorable results on behalf of its clients nationwide in the most expedient and economical manner possible. Contact us online or by calling 212-239-4340 to schedule a consultation. We maintain conveniently located offices in New York City and New Jersey.
