Leveraging ‘good team chemistry’ across its New York and Washington DC offices, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP defends companies and financial institutions in litigation relating to corporate disclosures/omissions, as well as shareholder class actions emanating from disputed merger transactions.  Drawing upon ’deep experience and good judgment’ as a result of many years’ experience in the market, New York-based Scott Luftglass has gained the trust of many public company clients, advising them both from a risk management/ corporate governance perspective, and in any subsequent litigation which may ensue – often before the Delaware Court of Chancery. New York-based Peter Simmons, who co-heads the team alongside Luftglass, is skilled at representing private equity firms and public companies, as well as banks, including in their role as underwriters of subsequently scrutinized IPOs and M&A transactions.
