The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is proud to announce that the Hon. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has granted final approval of its $15.7 million settlement in In re JPMorgan Treasury Futures Spoofing Litig., No. 1:20-cv-03515 (S.D.N.Y.). 

Kirby McInerney is proud to announce that The National Law Journal has named partner Karen Lerner one of its 2022 Elite Women of the Plaintiffs Bar, part of The National Law Journal's 2022 Elite Trial Lawyers awards.

​Partner Randall Fox discussed with Law360 New York lawmakers' recent passage of an amendment to the New York False Claims Act to close a loophole in the state’s tax whistleblower law by permitting actions against corporations and wealthy individuals who knowingly fail to file New York tax returns. 

Major Wall Street banks have taken part in a more than decadelong, multibillion-dollar scheme to manipulate the benchmark prices used to value credit default swap contracts at settlement, New Mexico's State Investment Council has alleged in a new proposed antitrust class action.  
 

“Kirby played an integral role in this case and assumed significant risk… Kirby’s work was at a very high level [and] Kirby’s work greatly benefited the Class.”

“Let me just say… that this has been an extraordinarily well-tried case. I want to thank counsel for both sides and your supporting staffs for your courtesies to the bench. I was very impressed by the fact that you were all so very well prepared with the demonstratives and the binders, etc…. it was all expertly – expertly – choreographed.”

KM received the highest available commendations from the City of New York four years in a row for its work on the AWP Litigation. In each of those four years, KM’s efforts on the City’s behalf received the overall rating of “excellent”. The City elaborated, “Kirby did a truly excellent job and the results reflect that.”

“[KM] represented us diligently and successfully. Throughout [KM’s] representation of our firm, [KM’s] commitment and attention to client concerns were unimpeachable.”
