Jeff Squire

Jeffrey H. Squire is a member of the firm. He is a graduate of Amherst College (B.A., cum laude, 1973) and the University of Pennsylvania (J.D. 1976) and is admitted to the bar in New York and Pennsylvania as well as the U. S. Dist. Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Northern Districts of New York and the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second, Third and Seventh Districts. Mr. Squire was previously a partner at Kirby, McInerney & Squire LLP and Of Counsel to Wolf Popper LLP. Mr. Squire, as lead or co-lead counsel, has prosecuted scores of class and derivative actions on behalf of the shareholders of many corporations, including: Adelphia Communications Corporation, AT & T Corporation, Bennett Funding Group, Bisys Group, Inc., eBay, Inc., Ford Motor Company, The Limited Corporation, Morrison Knudsen, Washington Group, Inc., Waste Management, Inc., and Woolworth, Inc. In such cases, he has recovered over one billion dollars for the shareholders he has represented.

Mr. Squire’s ability to prosecute sophisticated class actions successfully has often been the subject of judicial recognition:

“You have acted the way lawyers at their best ought to act. And I have had a lot of cases in 15 years now as a judge and I cannot recall a significant case where I felt people were better represented than they are here... I would say this has been the best representation that I have seen.” In re Waste Management, Inc. Securities Litigation.

"Nonetheless, in this Court’s experience, relatively few cases have involved as high level of risk, as extensive discovery, and, most importantly, as positive a final result for the class members as that obtained in this case.” In re Bisys Securities Litigation.
