Hadiya focuses primarily on securities fraud litigation on behalf of institutional investors and has played a key role on teams that have secured significant recoveries, including the $490 million recovered in In re Apple Inc. Sec. Litig. – one of the largest recent recoveries in a technology-sector securities case – which helped strengthen disclosure standards around supply-chain management and demand forecasting.
