ISS’s Securities Class Action Services Division (“ISS SCAS”) has ranked BLB&G as the top plaintiff law firm in North America in its Top 50 Plaintiff Law Firms of 2023 report. According to the report, BLB&G led the field with $2.13 billion in total settlement funds approved by courts in 2023. Highlights of the firm’s success included securing the $1 billion recovery in the case against Wells Fargo, as well as the $450 million recovery in the case against Kraft Heinz, the $145 million recovery in the case against Allianz Global, and the $122.5 million recovery in the case against Viacom, among other significant recoveries for shareholders.
This prestigious recognition follows BLB&G’s 14th consecutive #1 ranking in ISS SCAS’s Top 100 U.S. Class Action Settlements of All Time report, published this past January. That report notes that BLB&G has served as lead or co-lead counsel in 38 of the top 100 U.S. securities fraud settlements—almost twice as many as its closest competitor—and that BLB&G has secured more than $27 billion of the top 100 class action recoveries. Since its founding in 1983, the firm has recovered over $40 billion for investors.
“We are honored to lead the rankings in ISS SCAS's Top 50 and Top 100 Reports. Our work and achievements on behalf of injured investors would not be possible without our clients’ trust and support. We are very grateful to partner with our clients as we fight to level the playing field for shareholders, hold wrongdoers accountable, and effect meaningful corporate governance reforms. Along with our clients, our talented BLB&G team brings creativity, determination, and a strong sense of justice to every case.” —Hannah Ross, Senior Partner & Executive Committee Member
