Heralded as “The Man Who Took on Wall Street” by the Financial Times, Philippe has recovered more than $36 billion for clients in the last decade alone.

Named one of the nation’s top 100 trial lawyers by Benchmark Litigation, an “exceptionally talented” securities litigator by Chambers & Partners and a “Trailblazer” (twice) by the National Law Journal, Philippe has over 25 years of experience in complex commercial litigation with particular expertise in securities, financial products, insurance, energy, and antitrust disputes.
