Band 1
Provided by Robert Scheef
A recognized leader in financial litigation, Robert Scheef has recovered more than $1.5 billion for investors over the last 10 years. Robert represents clients in disputes around the country involving an array of business issues and complex financial products. He is Co-Chair of McKool’s Financial & Securities Litigation Group.
Robert’s skills are consistently recognized in leading legal publications, including Chambers USA (Band 1 in Securities: Institutional Plaintiffs), Lawdragon (500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers), and Super Lawyers (New York). Chambers USA particularly highlighted his “long track record of success in RMBS putback litigation.” Clients and peers at competing law firms have described Robert as "an excellent lawyer and very technically accomplished” (2018 Chambers USA) and “a highly cerebral lawyer” who is “very good at strategy” (2023 Chambers USA).
Careful analysis and creative strategy are the hallmarks of Robert’s practice, and he applies these talents to relentlessly pursue his client’s goal—whether that is loss recovery on an investment gone bad, implementation of a special situation investment opportunity, or elimination of claims asserted against a client. That singular focus from the outset of a case has allowed clients to obtain substantial recoveries without having to go to court, as well as precedent-setting rulings in the courtroom.
