Unprecedented Results.

Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP (BFA) is a leading class action law firm recognized for its legal prowess, tenacious advocacy, proven results, and unwavering commitment to integrity.

In 2014, our founders established BFA to break away from many of the standard practices of larger plaintiffs’ securities firms. Since then, the firm has grown and our attorneys have built reputations as fearless litigators who pursue justice against powerful opponents in high-stakes securities, privacy, consumer, and antitrust class actions, while securing landmark and sweeping corporate governance improvements.

Our trial-ready team has consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver historic results in some of the most complex class action cases. We are the best at what we do, and every day we utilize our talents, skill, and experience for the benefit of our clients.

Selective, Outcome-Driven Approach

At BFA, we believe in a selective case approach—we focus on quality over quantity. Our highly discerning and refined process of case selection allows the firm to dedicate substantial resources and undivided attention to each case we undertake, maximizing outcomes for our clients. BFA's litigation team has an unparalleled record, having helped secure over $17 billion on behalf of investors and consumers since our founding, including:

  • A settlement on behalf of Tesla, Inc. against certain current and former members of Tesla’s Board of Directors, under which the Director Defendants will return to Tesla and forgo certain future compensation valued at $919 million. This is the largest shareholder derivative settlement in the history of the Delaware Chancery Court.
  • An historic $725 million settlement in a consumer privacy class action against Facebook, the largest recovery in a data privacy class action to date.
  • A $420 million resolution on behalf of investors in Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., one of the five largest securities settlements ever achieved against a pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Our selectivity not only maximizes the potential for successful outcomes but instills confidence in clients that the cases we recommend are worth pursuing, and are receiving the utmost care and consideration. And our track record of significant achievements in high-stakes litigation showcases BFA's capability to compete with and outperform the largest defense firms in the country by giving each case the personalized attention and creative approach that sets us apart.

The entire team is made up of extraordinary litigators. It is thorough, diligent, and has extremely deep expertise.
