Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP ("SBTK"), headquartered just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, specializes in representing shareholders and consumers in complex class action litigation in state and federal courts throughout the United States. Since the firm's inception in 1987, SBTK has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of defrauded shareholders, employees and aggrieved consumers.

Recognized by courts and our clients for achieving exemplary results, SBTK has grown into one of the largest and most successful plaintiff's class action firms in the country. With sixty attorneys, a superior support staff and in-house investigative team, SBTK has emerged as the leading firm in the campaign to eradicate securities fraud and corporate malfeasance. SBTK's considerable resources and extensive experience in prosecuting class actions places it in a unique position to track, advise, prosecute and resolve complex actions.

SBTK represents various institutional investors from the United States, Canada, Europe and around the world - including pension funds, mutual fund managers, investment advisors, insurance companies, and hedge funds - and has secured landmark recoveries on behalf of our clients and the classes we represent. The firm, with the guidance and assistance of our clients serving as lead plaintiff, is especially proud of our ability to create and structure resolutions with financial troubled companies and, when appropriate, to institute meaningful corporate governance reforms when serving as lead counsel in shareholder actions.

SBTK is also at the forefront of protecting the rights of employees. The firm's nationally recognized ERISA Litigation Department specializes in breach of fiduciary duty actions brought pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. SBTK has helped pensioners across the country recover hundreds of millions of dollars in retirement savings lost as a result of mismanaged pension assets. Further, SBTK's Wage and Hour Department represents thousands of workers across the country pursuing claims for unpaid wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act and relevant state compensation laws.

SBTK's Competition Group combats violations of federal and state antitrust laws (and deceptive trade practice laws) including price-fixing, bid-rigging, monopolization, resale price maintenance and price discrimination. The Group's attorneys in this highly specialized area of the law have extensive experience and expertise and have been appointed by courts to leadership positions in several important antitrust actions filed in state and federal courts throughout the country.
