J. Marco Janoski Gray

Marco Janoski is a partner in Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP’s San Diego office, where his practice focuses on complex securities litigation. He was part of the litigation team for Schuh v. HCA Holdings, Inc., which resulted in a $215 million recovery for shareholders, the largest securities class action recovery ever in Tennessee. The recovery achieved represents more than 30% of the aggregate classwide damages, far exceeding the typical recovery in a securities class action. He was also a member of the Firm’s trial team in Hsu v. Puma Biotechnology, Inc., a securities fraud class action that resulted in a verdict in favor of investors after a two-week jury trial. Marco also obtained a $350 million settlement on the eve of trial in Smilovits v. First Solar, Inc., the fifth-largest PSLRA settlement ever recovered in the Ninth Circuit. Most recently, Marco and a team of Robbins Geller attorneys obtained an $809.5 million settlement in In re Twitter, Inc. Securities Litigation, a case that did not settle until the day before trial was set to commence. The settlement is the largest securities fraud class action recovery in the Ninth Circuit in the last decade.
