The securities litigation practice in Ballard Spahr LLP‘s Philadelphia office ’delivers practical and concise advice’. Highly-respected trial lawyer David Axelrod leads the practice and Norman Goldberger co-leads the firm’s municipal securities regulation and enforcement team. Axelrod’s recent highlights include acting for pharmaceutical company Teva in a case alleging the company engaged in price fixing, and the team also recently negotiated a deferred prosecution that allowed the company to continue as a going concern in the US. John Grugan left the team in March 2024, while Timothy Katsiff departed in April 2024.
