Firm Overview: Kramer Levin is a premier, full-service law firm with about 370 lawyers. Our Madoff Task Force, headed by partner Philip Bentley, represents a large group of Madoff investors, including
both direct and indirect investors. Our Madoff work builds on our recent involvement in the Bayou clawback litigation, in which we represented 70 former investors who were sued by the receiver of the failed Bayou hedge funds; we were able to obtain a favorable settlement for our clients prior to the bankruptcy court’s entry of summary judgment against many of the remaining defendants. Our perspective on the Madoff clawback litigation has been widely quoted in the press, including articles in Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Times of London, Reuters, Bloomberg and American Lawyer’s Am Law Litigation Daily, as well as interviews on ABC, CNBC and National Public Radio. Links to sample articles, and to a January 2009 article in The Deal that provides a non-technical overview of the issues likely to arise in the clawback suits, can be found at www.kramerlevin.com/madofftaskforce/. MEMBERSHIP IN OUR CLIENT GROUP IS LIMITED TO INVESTORS WHO WITHDREW AT LEAST $1 MILLION DURING THE SIX YEARS PRIOR TO MADOFF’S BANKRUPTCY FILING.
