Reich concentrates his practice in corporate takeover, ERISA, breach of fiduciary duty, derivative and consumer litigation matters.  Mr. Reich has been a resident of the Firm’s New York office for more than five years, where he has helped recover millions of dollars for individual and institutional shareholders, as well as significant results for aggrieved consumers.

(played a significant role in raising the inadequacy of the $3 million initial settlement, which the court rejected as wholly inadequate, and later resulted in a vastly increased $50 million recovery).

Mr. Reich has also played a significant and supporting role in other cases, including In re Gen. Elec. Co. ERISA Litig. ($40 million reimbursement payment to GE, plus material improvements to GE’s employee retirement plan and plan participants) and In re Doral Fin. Corp. Sec. Litig. ($129 million recovery for shareholders in a securities fraud litigation).
