Lieff Cabraser's Civil & Human
Rights Litigation Practice Area
National and International Practice
Lieff Cabraser has been at the forefront of recent litigation filed in both United States courts and abroad to remedy the abuses of civil and human rights or provide recovery for economic losses by persons worldwide.
For several years, Lieff Cabraser has represented the estates of
Holocaust victims
, survivors and family members in cases against Swiss and other European banks, European insurance companies, and European industrial companies that used concentration camp inmates as slave laborers. As part of this effort, we served on the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee that prosecuted and settled the case against Swiss banks. We were also instrumental in prosecuting Holocaust-era cases against German private enterprise for using slave and forced labor, and against German (and other) banks and financial institutions for "aryanizing" the property of victims of Nazi persecution. Together, settlements in these cases have totaled over $6.3 billion.
In April 2001, we filed a class action on behalf of workers (known as "Braceros") originally from Mexico who came to the United States during World War II to aid American farms and industries hurt by employee shortages, and were not reimbursed for portions of their wages placed in forced savings accounts.
In the fields of aviation law,
securities and investor fraud
,
personal injury and defective products
, we have also represented persons globally.
