Great Results Start With Great Research

At Labaton Sucharow, we have pioneered a sophisticated approach to case analysis that identifies for our clients the strongest opportunities for recovery.

Our substantial expertise in financial analysis and forensic investigations allows us to analyze scenarios where significant harm has occurred and compelling avenues for recovery exist. We scrutinize the merits of each potential case—and the seriousness of the wrongs that have occurred—to ensure that we only pursue the right cases on behalf of our clients, with the optimal litigation strategy. Our team combines the experience of more than 60 attorneys as well as former federal law enforcement officials, forensic accountants, investigators and seasoned financial/securities analysts who collaborate seamlessly to protect our clients’ interests.


Financial Expertise

We recognize that institutional investors oversee massive investment portfolios. As such, it is critical that we investigate all instances of potential harm, while also being extremely selective about the cases in which we recommend clients consider taking an active role, including seeking appointment as lead plaintiff.

We have developed an in-house, proprietary case evaluation model that ranks key factors of a meritorious case. When our team analyzes the merits of potential cases, we do more than read news reports. We have the capabilities to examine a company’s liquidity position, predict the direction the company’s business is headed, and recommend a legal strategy tailored to the company’s expected financial outcome.


Investigative Skills

An upfront factual investigation is an integral part of the case evaluation process. Our  investigative team is led by a 26-year veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Internal Revenue Service, who is also a Certified Public Accountant with extensive knowledge in cases involving fraud and financial crimes. In addition to reviewing public information, our team has the skills to gather information directly from other sources, including potential witnesses.

This proactive, in-depth approach to investigation and evaluation allows us to build cases that withstand the inevitable motions to dismiss. We do not hesitate to advise our clients against taking action when our investigation has failed to substantiate public allegations.
