Robert B. Weiser

For more than 20 years, Rob has been at the vanguard of various types of stockholder litigation. Rob’s specialty has been representing minority investors in lawsuits against the boards of directors of public corporations. Rob has been one of the innovators in his field and he has successfully launched cases based on accounting manipulations, insider trading, stock option “backdating” and executive compensation. Rob is considered one of the pioneers of the modern “stockholder derivative case”, and his pleading theories have often been adopted by other firms in this field. He has served as lead or co-lead counsel in many of the most important derivative settlements in the history of corporate litigation, including successful cases against some of the country’s largest companies such as Oracle Corporation and Microsoft, Inc. Rob continues to explore new avenues to hold corporate officers and directors accountable to their stockholders.

In addition to overseeing the Firm’s stockholder practice, Rob also oversees the Firm’s whistleblower and consumer class actions practices.
