Welcome to Bernstein Liebhard LLP

Institutional investors are among the largest investors in the capital markets. As major shareholders in public companies, and as fiduciaries of the persons on whose behalf they invest, institutional investors have a duty to recover funds resulting from corporate mismanagement and/or fraud. Bernstein Liebhard provides legal support to institutional investors aggrieved by corporate fraud and/or mismanagement. We provide monitoring, evaluation, and litigation services so that our institutional investor clients can recover their monetary losses, improve corporate governance, and hold corporate wrongdoers accountable for violations of the securities law.
