Richard S. Schiffrin has joined law firm Grant & Eisenhofer as of counsel. Schiffrin founded his own firm in 1987, which ultimately grew into 55-attorney law firm Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler. Mr. Schiffrin announced his retirement from Schiffrin Barroway last February, but decided to return to practice.
In an announcement today by Grant & Eisenhofer, Mr. Schiffrin stated: “I wasn’t actively thinking of taking up practice again so soon – especially having accomplished everything I thought I wanted to after 20 wonderful years with my prior firm, but I was intrigued by the chance to align directly with Jay [Eisenhofer] and Stuart Grant in representing investors in a new wave of cutting-edge cases.”
He added that “the financial crisis has exposed a number of flagrant violations of trust by financial institutions and asset managers, as well as egregious breaches of securities and other federal laws. I have to admit it was hard to be observing these developments from the sidelines. I’m excited at the prospect of returning to active litigation with Jay and his firm.”
Richard could you please contact me?
Best,
Yochanan
