Berger & Montague is one of the premier plaintiffs' class action firms in the country, specializing in antitrust, securities, mass tort/environmental, and other fields of complex litigation, including civil and human rights, healthcare/ERISA, and consumer protection. We represent, among others, consumers and businesses harmed by anticompetitive and deceptive trade practices, public security holders victimized by fraud, persons exposed to hazardous substances, and victims of civil and human rights abuses.
Founded in 1970, the firm has pioneered plaintiffs' class action law and complex litigation. The firm has a national practice and is one of the largest plaintiffs' class action firms in the country. It has been involved in most of the major developments in plaintiffs' complex litigation over the last decade, including the recently settled tobacco litigation, which sought recovery for expenses incurred by states for treatment of smoking-related illness, and in which we represented the State of Connecticut. We have also been in the forefront in litigating cases against multinational banks and other corporations on behalf of victims and heirs of victims of the Holocaust during World War II whose assets were misappropriated, and who were forced into slave labor and subjected to other human rights abuses. We currently represent the Attorney General of Pennsylvania in unfair trade practices litigation, and public institutional investors including the City of Philadelphia, the State of Pennsylvania, and the State of New Hampshire in securities fraud suits. |
