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.

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.

BLB&G is looking for an Associate to join the firm's Securities Litigation team in our LA 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.

  • 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

Position Details:
