Overview

Experience the Excitement of Working at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Are you an attorney or staff member looking for an exciting and rewarding career in the legal field? Look no further than Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF), one of the nation's premier boutique securities litigation law firms. With offices in New York, California, and Louisiana, KSF is dedicated solely to the practice of class action and individual investor securities litigation, making it a top choice for those seeking a challenging and fulfilling legal career. KSF serves a diverse range of clients, including large state institutional investors, hedge funds, and money managers, in their pursuit of recoveries for investment losses resulting from corporate fraud or malfeasance by publicly traded companies. The firm has a proven track record of success, having been lead, co-lead, or class counsel in numerous federal securities fraud and shareholder derivative lawsuits across the country. One of KSF's most notable cases is Erica P. John Fund, Inc. v. Halliburton Co., et al., which resulted in a $100 million recovery for investors. In this fraud action, KSF replaced previous class counsel and proposed a mere $6 million settlement, ultimately securing a much larger recovery for their clients. Other prominent cases include In re Bank of America Corp. Securities, Derivative, and Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Litigation, which resulted in a $62.5 million recovery for the company and substantial corporate governance changes, and In re Barnes & Noble Stockholder Derivative Litigation, which led to a $29 million recovery for Barnes & Noble, Inc. KSF's involvement in high-profile cases extends beyond U.S. borders. In the In re Petrobras Securities Litigation, KSF was a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee for the Individual Actions (PSC), representing investors in a federal securities class action against Brazil's state-controlled petrochemical company. This case arose from the largest corruption scandal in the history of Latin America, known as "Operação Lava Jato." KSF's substantial contribution to the class resulted in a $3 billion settlement for investors, returning approximately 65% more to shareholders than other individual actions. What sets KSF apart from other firms is its commitment to selective filing. The firm's reputation for intensive due diligence in case investigation and evaluation ensures that only the strongest cases are pursued. According to the Stanford University Class Action Clearinghouse, KSF evaluated and advised its clients to file under 20% of all new securities cases last year. This selectivity provides peace of mind for clients, knowing that their case has been thoroughly vetted and has a high likelihood of success. KSF's team of lawyers is comprised of highly skilled professionals with impressive educational backgrounds. Many of the firm's lawyers hold undergraduate, graduate, and law school degrees from prestigious universities such as Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Cornell, and Tulane. Prior to joining KSF, several lawyers have practiced at the nation's premier litigation firms, bringing a wealth of experience to the firm. Additionally, KSF is the only boutique securities litigation firm in the U.S. to have a former State Attorney General, General Charles Foti, as a partner. When it comes to compensation, KSF operates on a contingency basis. This means that the firm only receives a fee if it achieves a successful recovery for its clients. This approach ensures that KSF's interests are perfectly aligned with those of its clients, as the firm's compensation is directly tied to the outcome of the litigation. Clients can rest assured that KSF is fully committed to achieving the best possible results. In addition to its litigation services, KSF offers a comprehensive client services program led by Managing Partner Lewis Kahn. This program allows funds to document compliance with their fiduciary responsibilities, even if they choose not to step forward as lead plaintiff. With daily headlines about scandals at corporations, investment banks, and mutual fund companies, fund beneficiaries are increasingly concerned about the protection of their interests. KSF works closely with its clients to create securities litigation policies and monitor portfolios to gauge losses in new cases. The firm also provides reports on recent settlements, allowing institutional clients to stay informed about their custodians' efforts to collect claims. At KSF, the preservation of your assets is of utmost importance. The firm's experience, resources, and dedication can help you maximize your fund's value by recovering assets that have been misappropriated by fraud or other corporate wrongdoing. With a proven track record of success and a commitment to selective filing, KSF has recovered 1600% more in the Haliburton action and is ready to put its energy and talent to work for your fund today.
