The Wolf Haldenstein Class Action Litigation Group

Wolf Haldenstein's Class Action Litigation Group has been recognized by courts

throughout the country as being highly experienced in complex litigation, particularly

with respect to securities, consumer, ERISA, and antitrust class actions and shareholder

rights litigation. The Class Action Litigation Group consists of 30 attorneys and 10

paraprofessional assistants. Brief resumes of these attorneys begin on page 10.

Also included are the resumes of attorneys from other areas of the Firm's practice who

routinely lend their expertise to the Firm’s class action litigators in the areas of tax,

bankruptcy, corporate, trusts, labor, and ERISA law. The ability to call upon the internal

expertise of practitioners in such varied areas of the law greatly enhances the strength and

efficiency of the Firm's representative litigation practice and, indeed, makes Wolf

Haldenstein unique among national firms specializing in class action litigation.

The nature of the Firm's activities in representative litigation is extremely broad. In

addition to a large case load of securities fraud and other investor class actions, Wolf

Haldenstein has represented classes of corn farmers in connection with the devaluation of

their crops; contact lens purchasers for contact lens manufacturers’ violations of the

antitrust laws; merchants compelled to accept certain types of debit cards; insurance

policyholders for insurance companies’ deceptive sales practices; victims of unlawful

strip searches under the civil rights laws; and various cases involving violations of

Internet users’ on-line privacy rights.

The Firm's experience in class action securities litigation, in particular public shareholder

rights under state law and securities fraud claims arising under the federal securities laws

and regulations, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

(“PSLRA”), is particularly extensive. The Firm was one of the lead or other primary

counsel in securities class action cases that have recouped billions of dollars on behalf of

investor classes, in stockholder rights class actions that have resulted in billions of dollars

in increased merger consideration to shareholder classes, and in derivative litigation that

has recovered billions of dollars for corporations.

Among its colleagues in the plaintiffs’ securities bar, as well as among its adversaries in

the defense bar, Wolf Haldenstein is known for the high ability of its attorneys, the

exceptionally high quality of its written and oral advocacy on behalf of class action

clients, and its pioneering efforts in difficult or unusual areas of securities or investor

protection laws, including: groundbreaking claims that have been successfully brought

under the Investment Company Act of 1940 regarding fiduciary responsibilities of

investment companies and their advisors toward their shareholders; claims under ERISA

involving fiduciary duties of ERISA trustees who are also insiders in possession of

Case 1:05-cv-04950-MBM Document 4-5 Filed 06/06/2005 Page 4 of 29
[4]

adverse information regarding their fund's primary stockholdings; the fiduciary duties of

the directors of Delaware corporations in connection with change of control transactions;

the early application of the fraud-on-the-market theory to claims against public

accounting firms in connection with their audits of publicly traded corporations; and the

application of federal securities class certification standards to state law claims often

thought to be beyond the reach of class action treatment.

Wolf Haldenstein’s performance in representative litigation has repeatedly received

favorable judicial recognition. The following representative judicial comments over two

decades indicate the high regard in which the Firm is held:

• In In re MicroStrategy Securities Litigation, 150 F. Supp. 2d 896, 903 (E.D. Va.

2001), where the Firm was a co-lead counsel, Judge Ellis commented: “Clearly,

the conduct of all counsel in this case and the result they have achieved for all of

the parties confirms that they deserve the national recognition they enjoy.”

• In In Re Toys R Us Antitrust Litigation, 98 MDL 1211 (NG) 191 F.R.D. 347, 351,

356 (E.D.N.Y. 2000), where the Firm served as co-lead and liaison counsel,

Judge Gershon wrote: “Class counsel are highly skilled and experienced and can

fairly and adequately represent the interests of the class . . . . Counsel for both the

class plaintiffs and the States have well-earned the compensation that they

request.”

• In Yud v. Saf T Lok, No. 98-8507-Civ-Hurley (S.D. Fla. Dec. 15, 1999), where the

Firm was sole lead counsel, the court stated: “The attorneys have done an

outstanding amount of work and fine legal work in a short period of time to bring

this class action to resolution in a successful fashion.”

• In Kurzweil v. Philip Morris Companies, 94 Civ. 2373, 94 Civ. 2546 (MBM)

(S.D.N.Y. Nov. 13, 1998), where the Firm was sole lead counsel, now Chief

Judge Mukasey, in approving a $116.5 million settlement stated: “In this case,

this represents a lot of good, hard, serious work by a lot of talented lawyers and I

appreciate it on both sides.”

• In Paramount Communications v. QVC Network Inc.; In re Paramount

Communications Inc. Shareholders' Litigation, 637 A.2d 34, 37 n.2 (Sup. Ct. Del.

1994), where the Firm was co-lead counsel for the Paramount shareholders, the

Supreme Court of Delaware noted “its appreciation of . . . the professionalism of

counsel in this matter in handling this expedited litigation with the expertise and

skill which characterize Delaware proceedings of this nature.” The Court further

“commended the parties for their professionalism in conducting expedited

discovery, assembling and organizing the record, and preparing and presenting

very helpful briefs, a joint appendix, and oral argument.”

• In In re Laser Arms Corp. Securities Litigation, 794 F. Supp. 475, 496 (S.D.N.Y.

1989), where the Firm was lead counsel, the Court stated “plaintiffs'counsel have

Case 1:05-cv-04950-MBM Document 4-5 Filed 06/06/2005 Page 5 of 29
[5]

demonstrated their experience in securities litigation and the Court is confident

that counsel will proceed vigorously on behalf of all class and subclass members.”

• In In re Public Service Co. of Indiana Derivative Litigation, 125 F.R.D. 484, 486

(S.D. Ind. 1988), concerning the construction of the Marble Hill Nuclear Power

Plant, where the Firm was lead counsel, the court said: “Throughout the life of

this litigation, it has been both vigorously prosecuted and aggressively defended

by thoroughly competent counsel on all sides.”

• In In re Public Service Co. of New Hampshire Derivative Litigation, 84-220-D

(D.N.H. 1986), involving the construction of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant,

where the Firm was lead counsel, the court said of plaintiffs’ counsel that “the

skill required and employed was of the highest caliber.”

• In In re Warner Communications Securities Litigation, 618 F. Supp. 735, 749

(S.D.N.Y. 1985), where the Firm served as co-lead counsel, the court noted the

defendants’ concession that “’plaintiffs’ counsel constitute the cream of the

plaintiffs’ bar.’ The Court cannot find fault with that characterization.”

• In Steiner v. Equimark Corp., No. 81-1988 (W.D. Pa. 1983), a case involving

complex issues concerning banking practices in which the Firm was lead counsel,

then District Judge Mannsman described, in part, the work the Firm performed:

We look at the complexity of the issue, the novelty of it, the

quality of work that, as the trial judge, I am able to perceive,

and then, finally, the amount of recovery obtained: I think I

have certainly said a lot in that regard. I think it's been an

extraordinary case. I think it’s an extraordinary settlement.

Certainly defense counsel and plaintiffs’ counsel as well are all

experienced counsel with a tremendous amount of experience

in these particular kinds of cases. And under those

circumstances . . . I think it was, really, the strategy and

ingenuity of counsel in dividing up the workload and

strategizing the cases as to who was to do what and what

ultimately should be done to bring about the settlement that

was achieved.
