Shearman & Sterling has been named the top team in the US for 2015 in the area of Securities: Shareholder Litigation by Legal 500. The firm’s White Collar Litigation team was also selected by Legal 500 as one of 5 finalists for best in the US for 2015.

The Legal 500 honors follow the firm’s selection last week by Global Investigations Review as having one of the top 6 global investigations practices in the world.

“We are very grateful for this recognition and believe it reflects the strength of our practices and service to clients in their most significant securities litigation and white collar defense matters,” said Adam Hakki, the firm’s global Litigation head.
