The Daily Journal has named BLB&G Partner Jonathan Uslaner among its "Top 40 Under 40" legal professionals in the state of California.
The publication highlights Mr. Uslaner’s impressive career achievements as a securities litigator, having recovered over $3 billion for investors in securities class actions against major financial institutions and Wall Street banks. Specifically, the profile discusses his role in recovering over $2.43 in In re Bank of America Securities litigation, and his pivotal role in prosecuting Cambridge Place Investment Management Inc. v.
