Cases[edit]
- Hanson v. Berthel Fisher, a securities class action filed on behalf of investors in a real estate investment program that raised approximately $26 million from the investing public and subsequently defaulted on payments to investors. Claims were predicated upon the role played by the managing broker-dealer of that real estate investment program that allegedly organized and oversaw the securities offering by the program while aware of misrepresentations and omissions in the program's offering documents.[8]
- Booth, et al. v. Strategic Realty Trust, a securities class action filed on behalf of investors in a real estate investment program that raised approximately $90 million from the investing public. Claims were predicated upon alleged material misrepresentations and omissions by the issuer, its sponsor, and its officers and directors, in the Program's offering documents.[9]
- Bilewicz v. FMR, a case brought on behalf of certain employees of Fidelity Investments, alleging that Fidelity violated ERISA by offering exclusively high-fee Fidelity mutual fund products in its retirement plan and by repeatedly adding funds to the plan with little or no track record. Plaintiffs further alleged that the Fidelity plan's fees were very high for a multi-billion dollar plan, and Fidelity failed to follow sound fiduciary practices for multi-billion dollar plans. This case was successfully settled, and Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane was approved as co-class counsel in that action.
- In re Cox Enterprises, Inc. Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane was appointed on the plaintiff's steering committee of this multi-district litigation consolidating numerous regional antitrust class actions involving allegations that Cox illegally tied rental of its cable-set top boxes to the provision of cable television services. The court certified the first regional class that it considered, and Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane was approved as co-class counsel in that action.
