About

Provided by Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP

Our breadth of experience in shareholder advocacy has also 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; $125 million settlement on behalf of former shareholders of Discovery Inc.; $123 million settlement plus corporate governance reforms in connection with Walmart’s prescription opioids business, which exacerbated the United States opioid epidemic; and a $100 million settlement challenging a self-interested acquisition of Pattern Energy Group Inc., among others.
