Not every business obeys the law. As the headlines show, it is not unusual for corporate misconduct to result in investors who lose money due to fraud, purchasers who pay inflated prices, or consumers who do not receive what was promised.
Spector Roseman & Kodroff uses the power of the class action to remove the obstacles to an effective recovery. The plaintiff in a class action sues not just on his or her own behalf, but on behalf of all persons similarly situated who have been injured as a result of the same misconduct. Class actions allow plaintiffs to recover millions of dollars on behalf of all victims.
We are proud of our successes, some of which are described on this site. Our experience and commitment make us well-suited to represent both individual and institutional clients. This is because we are actively involved with our clients; we evaluate cases carefully before deciding to litigate; and we have the resources and dedication to serve the needs of our clients.
Clients are real people. We seek to maintain long-term relationships with our clients that go beyond a single case. The Firm understands the need to carefully evaluate any potential cases with the client’s needs and expectations in mind; to keep the client promptly informed as to the progress of the case; and to work with the client in providing discovery and protecting the client from discovery harassment.
Quality, not quantity. We follow a philosophy of litigation that emphasizes the merits of individual cases, not the number of cases the Firm files. We have found that most clients, particularly institutions, want to be selective in the cases they bring. The Firm’s emphasis on pre-filing evaluation allows us to aggressively pursue innovative claims and to properly supervise the work in very large cases. SRK has been, and continues to be, one of the lead counsel in nationwide class actions involving new theories to combat fraud and improper conduct.
Able to do the Job. We rely on a capable team of professionals to litigate against even the largest commercial firms. Our lawyers have substantial experience in class actions and complex litigation, as well as the necessary knowledge of the applicable statutes and case precedent. While a fair settlement of a case is desirable, the Firm has the skill, experience and capacity to take a large case to trial. The Firm’s lawyers are supported by an efficient paralegal and clerical staff and a state of the art computer network. Our location in Philadelphia allows us to easily travel throughout the United States and Europe for client meetings, depositions, document reviews, and court proceedings.
Most importantly, we rely on our reputation for integrity and high professional standards. SRK is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell, its highest rating for quality and integrity. We are respected by our adversaries as well as by our colleagues in the plaintiffs’ bar, and have been consistently able to maintain professional courtesy while aggressively protecting our clients’ interests.
