Fewer than 20 securities class actions have ever reached a jury verdict. This year, Mark Molumphy ‘93 won the biggest one in U.S. history, an estimated $2.5 billion. Molumphy served as lead trial counsel in the class action case against Elon Musk over his 2022 Twitter acquisition.
Molumphy has spent his 33-year career at Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, a path that began as a summer associate.
