About

Provided by Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP

Labaton Keller Sucharow's breadth of experience in shareholder advocacy has taken us to Delaware, where we press for corporate reform through our Wilmington office. These efforts have already earned us a string of enviable successes, including the recent historic $1 billion cash settlement, just weeks before trial, for former Dell stockholders—the largest recovery prior to judgment ever achieved in a fiduciary duty action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and a $79 million partial settlement between individual defendants, in addition to going to trial as to Plaintiffs’ remaining claims against former Columbia executives and TransCanada Corporation, n/k/a TC Energy, among others. Labaton Keller Sucharow’s Corporate Governance practice has had a record two years including taking three cases through trial, settling two cases right before trial, and multiple other settlements.
