SECURITIES FRAUD + CORPORATE GOVERNANCEScott + Scott is a nationally recognized law firm that recovers money for individual and institutional investors who have suffered from corporate stock fraud through securities class action and corporate governance litigation.

The firm has participated in recovering billions of dollars and achieved precedent-setting reforms in corporate governance on behalf of investors and shareholders.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (ERISA)Scott + Scott actively litigates complex class actions across the United States on behalf of corporate employees alleging violations of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act. ERISA was enacted by Congress to prevent employers from exercising improper control over retirement plan assets and requires that pension and 401(k) plan trustees, including employer corporations, owe the highest fiduciary duties to retirement plans and their participants as to their retirement funds. Scott + Scott is committed to continuing its leadership in ERISA and related employee-retirement litigation, as well as to those employees who entrust their employers with hard-earned retirement savings. |
