Eugene A. Spector, founding partner of Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C., is nationally recognized for his work on behalf of class action plaintiffs.

He has handled many high profile cases, including Rosenthal v. Dean Witter, which resulted in a landmark decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that recognized, for the first time, that securities fraud could be proved without reliance being alleged. This precedent-setting case was important because under state securities law the reliance element sometimes proved difficult, especially when large numbers of people were involved in a class action suit. Mr. Spector is currently serving as co-lead counsel in such antitrust cases as In re Flat Glass Antitrust Litigation; Linerboard Antitrust Litigation; and In re K-Dur Antitrust Litigation.

Before founding Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, Mr. Spector was a litigator with Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis. His additional experience includes establishing and heading the securities litigation section of the Philadelphia-based Gross & Sklar, P.C., and serving as a law clerk to Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices Herbert B. Cohen and Alexander F. Barbieri.

Mr. Spector is a member of the American, Federal, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia bar associations, as well as the ABA's Antitrust and Litigation Sections and the Securities Law Sub-Committee of the Litigation Section. He is also a member of the Federal Courts Committee of the Philadelphia Bar Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and the American Judicature Society.

He earned his undergraduate degree (1965) from Temple University, and his law degree (with honors,1970) from Temple University School of Law, where he served as an editor of The Temple Law Quarterly.
