Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. (also known as G&E) is an international law firm that specializes in securities and complex litigation, corporate governance, false claims/whistleblower litigation, antitrust, bankruptcy, consumer protection, and portfolio monitoring. G&E specializes in representing public and private institutional investors, whistleblowers, and consumers who seek restitution for damage caused by fraud, greed or mismanagement by corporations and major accounting firms.
G&E has achieved more securities settlements in excess of $100 million than any other law firm in the United States. Since its founding in 1997, the firm has represented more than one hundred institutional investors, numerous individual whistleblowers and consumers, and has acted as lead or co-lead counsel in many of the largest securities class actions in American history.
Grant & Eisenhofer has approximately 65 attorneys among its four offices. They testify on behalf of institutional investors before the SEC and various judicial commissions. The firm initiates litigation in the attempt to make corporate governance practices equally favorable to a corporation’s directors and shareholders. G&E often serves as lead counsel in national securities class actions while working with institutional investors as lead plaintiffs. As lead counsel, the firm has recovered over $12 billion for its clients.
Grant & Eisenhofer’s founding purpose was to represent and protect institutional investors. The firm remains conscious of its growth to ensure that it maintains its focus on securities litigation, corporate governance, and related services. To avoid conflicts of interest, G&E does not represent corporate clients.
The firm has a case philosophy of extreme selectivity. It only takes on a limited number of cases - based on, among other factors, the amount of stock the potential client holds in the company accused of wrongdoing. Each case is assigned a team of attorneys, paralegals, specialized support staff, and consultants, which may include forensic accountants, private investigators, and business or scientific experts. The managing partners are also involved in each case.
Grant & Eisenhofer has been recognized for its efforts in securities litigation, corporate governance, and related areas of practice. The firm has earned a place in the National Law Journal's “Plaintiffs Hot List Hall of Fame.” In 2013, Law360 named G&E one of the "Most Feared Plaintiffs Firms" in its inaugural list of plaintiffs firms it described as "hugely successful" based on their "performance in high-profile or complex cases between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2013, including significant court rulings, trial victories and settlements." In its profile of the firm, that publication wrote, "over the last decade and a half, Grant & Eisenhofer PA has grown into one of the most high-profile shareholder and whistleblower advocates in the country, securing record-high cash settlements."
