Family Law

Adoption

Criminal Law

Wrongful Death
$14M (verdict) – placental abruption and delayed C-section leading to catastrophic brain damage, quadriplegic cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, and at the age of 4, wrongful death of the child due to his catastrophic injuries suffered at birth
Sex Crimes
G&E’s civil rights attorneys are representing survivors under New York law known as The Child Victims Act, bringing claims against priests, coaches, doctors and others for sexual assaults that occurred decades ago. After the New York Child Victims Act went into effect in 2019, which opened a two-year lookback window for sex abuse survivors of any age to file actions against abusers and/or institutions that covered up their crimes, even if the incident(s) occurred decades ago, several other states have been working toward lifting the statute of limitations for survivors to bring a claim. These survivors now have more time to bring lawsuits against their abusers.
Fraud
G&E adopts a global litigation strategy to evaluate international litigation options and to maximize recoveries for its clients. For example, G&E represented 44 institutional investors in litigation with Steinhoff and various affiliates in the Netherlands that resulted in a historic $1.6 billion settlement. G&E also negotiated a $1.5 billion settlement on behalf of over 180 institutional investors against Fortis in the Netherlands and Belgium. That settlement was reached after seven years of litigation and several months of mediation. G&E achieved a $1 billion settlement against Royal Bank of Scotland in the United Kingdom—the second largest securities fraud recovery in the history of the country, which is a notoriously difficult jurisdiction for large scale plaintiffs’ litigation. In Royal Dutch Shell, a case that ultimately was resolved through a court proceeding in the Netherlands, G&E obtained a $450 million shareholder settlement with Royal Dutch Shell that brought together over 175 institutional investors from across Europe to settle claims arising from Shell’s overstatement of its proven oil and gas reserves. While some investors were already parties to a U.S. class action proceeding in the District of New Jersey, given the large number of European institutions involved and Shell’s status as an Anglo-Dutch company, G&E sought a European solution for its clients.
Assault
Identity Theft
Money Laundering
After media and regulatory investigations, Danske Bank, Denmark’s largest bank, reluctantly admitted to participation in a massive money laundering scandal involving its branch in Estonia. Its CEO, Chairman and Chief Legal Officer all promptly resigned. Danske disclosed that it had profited from this scheme to the tune of €234 billion. Its stock lost over $12.8 billion in value worldwide as a result. G&E and its co-counsel have filed claims in Denmark on behalf of 300 investors collectively seeking over $1 billion in damages. In April 2023, the High Court selected eight test cases to proceed on the merits while all other claims against Danske are stayed.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. is one of the world’s leading law firms concentrating on complex plaintiffs’ litigation and arbitration, including U.S. and international securities, M&A, corporate governance, shareholder activism, antitrust, bankruptcy, intellectual property, false claims, consumer protection, complex pharmaceutical and medical device, and birth injury litigation.
Mergers and Acquisitions
G&E’s practice groups focus on litigation and arbitration on behalf of plaintiffs, including U.S. and international securities, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust, bankruptcy, public entity, environmental, mass torts, birth injury, civil rights, consumer protection, and false claims litigation.
Antitrust
Antitrust (representing public entities, such as public employee health plans, asserting claims for monopolization, illegal price fixing, illegal tying arrangements and other violations of antitrust law)

Employment Law

Employment Discrimination
G&E has uncovered rampant credible evidence that for many years Dutch shipping companies and shipowners have been illegally paying Indonesian and Filipino crew members much smaller wages (about 60-65% less) than Europeans working the same jobs on the same ships. This is against the law: EU and Dutch law specifically prohibit employment discrimination or unequal pay based on race and/or nationality. In July 2023, on behalf of representative Indonesian and Filipino seafarers who suffered from such wage discrimination, G&E – along with a consortium of lawyers in the Netherlands, Indonesia and the Philippines – filed complaints with the Netherlands Human Rights Commission against representative Dutch shipowners who we believe committed these human rights violations. G&E is signing up thousands of Indonesian and Filipino seafarers to join a back-pay compensation class action to be filed in Amsterdam District Court as soon as we have a favorable ruling by the Human Rights Commission against the Dutch shipowners.
Sexual Harassment
G&E represents victims of injustice, fighting for people whose civil rights have been violated. The Firm litigates matters involving sexual harassment or assault, discrimination, private prison abuse, wrongful incarceration, Section 1983 claims, and other egregious civil rights violations. G&E is dedicated to protecting the rights of people who have been mistreated and providing a means to fight back against the responsible parties.

Property Law

Property Damage
G&E represented residents and businesses harmed by the devastating November 2018 wildfire in Northern California, allegedly caused by the negligence of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The fire was the deadliest and most devastating wildfire in California history, where 85 people died and more than 19,000 structures, including residences and commercial properties, were damaged or destroyed. G&E sought compensation on behalf of all victims that were injured or died in the fire or suffered property damage or other emotional distress, and in December 2019, settled the case for $13.5 billion.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Ms. Weinstein has a successful track record litigating personal injury, medical malpractice and birth injury matters obtaining multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts on behalf of her clients. She has played a significant role in cases against hospitals and healthcare providers, resulting in life-changing awards for families totaling over $375 million in verdicts and settlements, including...
Medical Malpractice
G&E focuses on a number of birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), infant brain damage, and brachial plexus injuries, as well as complications arising from conditions such as preeclampsia, uterine rupture, gestational diabetes, and cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). G&E also represents parents filing infant wrongful death cases due to medical malpractice, as well as maternal death cases. G&E’s birth injury attorneys understand the complex nature of these cases and can provide the legal counseling and advocacy needed to take action against a negligent health care provider.

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
Ad hoc and official committees, institutional and distressed investors, indenture trustees, litigation trustees, and other parties in the bankruptcy litigation context. G&E and its attorneys have extensive experience in litigation arising out of major U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcies and other U.S. and offshore/cross-border insolvency matters.
