Partners
Randall K. Berger
Randall K. Berger is a partner in our New York office concentrating on antitrust, whistleblower and unclaimed property litigation. Mr. Berger joined the firm in 1994 and leads the firm’s whistleblower practice. In whistleblower cases, fraud against Federal and State governments is exposed by persons having unique knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the fraud. The whistleblowers are often compensated from any recovery and the cases are generally litigated under seal.
Mr. Berger is a certified arbitrator for the National Association of Securities Dealers. The arbitration panels where Mr. Berger serves are used to resolve disputes between NASD member firms and customers, and to resolve intra-industry conflicts.
Some of Mr. Berger’s relevant work includes:
■ Representation, as co-lead counsel, of investors in Ponzi scheme instruments issued by the now-bankrupt Bennett Funding Group in a class action which resulted in a recovery of $169.5 million for the class;
■ Representation of State Treasurers in litigation against the Federal government to recover unclaimed U.S. savings bond proceeds; and
■ The spearheading of antitrust litigation against the 27 largest investment banks in the United States in connection with alleged price fixing in the market for the underwriting of initial public stock offerings.
Mr. Berger is admitted to the New York State Bar, the United States District Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Northern Districts of New York and the District of Colorado. He has been a member of the New York City Bar Association since 1995. He graduated from Iowa State University (B.S., 1985) and from the University of Chicago (J.D., 1992).
Prior to attending law school and joining Kirby McInerney, Mr. Berger utilized his undergraduate (engineering) degree working for four years with the management consulting division of Arthur Anderson & Co.
