They handle cases involving fraud, insider trading, misrepresentation, and regulatory violations, often litigating in federal and state courts or arbitration forums like FINRA.

Their responsibilities may include conducting investigations, drafting legal documents, and negotiating settlements to protect their clients' interests.

Securities litigators commonly represent clients such as corporations, financial institutions, individual investors, or executives involved in disputes over securities fraud, misleading disclosures, insider trading, or regulatory compliance. Daily work often involves conducting in-depth investigations, drafting motions and legal briefs, analyzing voluminous financial records, and preparing for hearings or trials. Collaboration with forensic accountants, regulatory consultants, and other legal team members is frequent in order to build a strong case. These cases can range from high-profile class actions to complex government investigations, offering a dynamic and intellectually challenging environment for legal professionals.

About the Firm
Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (BLB&G) is widely recognized worldwide as a leading law firm advising institutional investors on issues related to corporate governance, shareholder rights, and securities litigation. Our clients include the largest and most prominent public pension funds, banks, asset managers and insurance companies in the world.
Since our founding in 1983, BLB&G has built an international reputation for excellence and integrity and pioneered the use of the litigation process to achieve precedent-setting governance reforms. BLB&G has prosecuted many of the most high-profile frauds in history, recovering over $40 billion on behalf of investors.
Working with our clients, we have also used securities and corporate governance litigation to achieve precedent-setting reforms that have increased market transparency and improved corporate business practices in groundbreaking ways. The firm is widely recognized by industry observers as a leader in the field, and our reputation for integrity and unmatched record of achievement has won us praise from the bench, the respect of our adversaries, and the allegiance of our clients.
About the Team and the Role
BLB&G is looking for an Associate to join the firm's Securities Litigation team in our New York office, where you will litigate securities fraud matters on behalf of the firm's clients. This position presents an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated, entrepreneurial candidate who is passionate about plaintiff-side litigation and thinks critically and creatively about potential legal claims and litigation strategy.
While representing investors in complex securities fraud actions, our litigators work towards achieving precedent-setting reforms to increase market transparency, holding wrongdoers accountable and improving corporate business practices. BLB&G has recorded more multi-billion-dollar recoveries than any other firm, including in cases against WorldCom ($6.2 billion), Cendant ($3.3 billion), Bank of America ($2.4 billion), Nortel ($1.07 billion) and Merck ($1.05 billion. Recent high-profile successes include obtaining recoveries against Wells Fargo, Kraft and Allianz. The firm is currently lead counsel in prominent securities cases against Boeing and Meta.
Position Qualifications:
  • JD is required (2020-2024 law school graduates preferred); must be admitted to the New York Bar and/or the California Bar
  • Related experience, primarily in securities litigation, class actions, or other complex litigation experience is required
  • Strong academic and professional credentials required; judicial clerkships are a plus
  • Excellent writing and legal research skills
  • Strong financial literacy is required
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, a proactive approach, and the readiness to take opportunity and run with it is necessary
  • Desire to represent investors rather than corporations
  • Ability and desire to take a meaningful role in multiple complex cases, often opposite significantly more senior lawyers
  • Excellent time management, multitasking and communication skills are essential

Position Details:
  • This is a full-time, exempt position based in New York, NY
  • This is a hybrid role (3 days in-office (Tuesdays and Wednesdays required); 2 days work-from-home)

Salary Range:
  • Base Salary: $185,000 - $320,000

Work Environment
• All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
• BLB&G values diversity and inclusion and is an Equal Opportunity Employer
