Firm Biography

Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP, located just outside of Philadelphia, has specialized in

complex class action litigation for nearly twenty years, representing shareholders and

consumers in class action litigation in state and federal courts throughout the United States .

During the firm's successful history, Schiffrin & Barroway has recovered billions of 'dollars for

defrauded stockholders and aggrieved consumers . The firm, which has developed a

nationwide reputation for excellence, is led by its senior partners, Richard S . Schiffrin and

Andrew L. Barroway, with assistance from partners, Marc A . Topaz, David Kessler, Katharine

M . Ryan, Stuart L. Berman, Gregory M . Castaldo, Michael K . Yarnoff, Joseph H . Meltzer, and

numerous experienced associates and staff .

The firm focuses primarily on the prosecution of securities fraud litigation, derivative

actions and transactional litigation brought against public companies, executives, auditors

and investment banking firms . In addition, Schiffrin & Barroway represents consumers in

drug and product litigation as well as employees in ERISA/401K litigation .

Schiffrin & Barroway has represented various public and Taft-Hartley pension funds ,

private institutional investors, and hundreds of individual investors as Lead or Co-Lead

Counsel in class action litigation in state and federal courts throughout the United States .

Currently, Schiffrin & Barroway is acting as Lead or Co-Lead Counsel in class action suits

against such companies as Tyco, Tenet Healthcare, and Sprint . Schiffrin & Barroway is

currently involved in several other high profile cases across the country . Of particular note,

we are currently prosecuting the action In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation,

Master File No . 21 MC 92 (S .D .N .Y . Dec . 12, 2 002)(SAS), as one of only six law firms

comprising Plaintiffs' Counsel's Executive Committee . Our firm was selected from over

sixty law firms which had brought such actions . This litigation, which is pending in the

Page 16: Robert S. Green (State Bar No. 136183) (rsg@classcounsel ...securities.stanford.edu/filings-documents/1033/LDIS05_01/200552_f… · San Francisco, CA 94104 Telephone : (415) 477-6700

Southern District of New York, challenges the legality of the IPO allocation practices of

virtually all of the major investment banking firms from 1998 through 2000 and

encompasses over 300 coordinated actions . The litigation has produced a $1 billion

settlement with the issuer defendants which was recently granted preliminary approval from

the Court and continues against the underwriter banks . In addition, we are particularly

proud of the results recently achieved as sole lead counsel before the Honorable Joel A .

Pisano in In re AremisSoft Corp . Sec. Litig ., C .A . No . 01-CV-2486 (D .N .J . 2002) . This cas e

was extraordinarily complex as it involved the embezzlement of hundreds of millions of

dollars by former officers of the Company who are now fugitives . The settlement of the

action against the Company allowed for the Company to be reorganized so it could continue

operations while establishing a litigation trust to pursue claims against the Company's

auditors, its counsel, as well as those individuals that looted the Company . The Settlement

provides the class with a majority of the equity in the new company, Softbrands, as well as

their pro rata share of all monies recovered by the litigation trust . The Court-appointed co-

trustees of the litigation trust have retained Schiffrin & Barroway to continue prosecuting

the actions on behalf of the litigation trust . In this capacity, we have filed an action in th e

Isle of Man successfully freezing more than $200 million of stolen funds and are in the

process of attempting to recover the money . In addition, we are continuing to pursue the

litigation trust's claims . The AremiSoft litigation is a perfect example of one area of the

firm's expertise, which is to creatively structure settlements with financially troubled

companies .

Indeed, Schiffrin & Barroway is often commended by courts throughout the country

for its excellent work :
