Mr. Kahn oversees the firm’s securities practice, which has been responsible for settlements including the long-running securities class action against Halliburton where Mr. Kahn was Co-Class Counsel with David Boies, a case in which the firm twice beat back Halliburton’s attempt in the United States Supreme Court to eviscerate shareholder rights, and obtained a $100 million settlement for the Class after prior and subsequently replaced national securities counsel attempted to settle the case for $6 million.  Other matters have included: In re Virgin Mobile USA IPO Litigation, 2:07-cv-05619-SDW-MCA ($19.5 million settlement), In re Tesco PLC Securities Litigation, 14 Civ. 8495 ($12 million settlement), In re BigBand Networks, Inc Securities Litigation, 3:07-CV-05101-SBA ($11 million settlement), In re U.S. Auto Parts Networks, Inc.

Ch. 2014) ($0.40 price bump which increased the consideration to shareholders by more than 10% or approximately $38 million).

In addition to securities lawsuits, Mr. Kahn has significant experience with consumer fraud and mass tort class actions. Mr. Kahn has been appointed to various leadership positions in federal class action litigation over the years.
