Nicholas J. Dennany

For more than seven years, Nick has been a key member of BFA’s Client Monitoring and Case Evaluation Group, where, together with a team of attorneys and financial analysts, he develops and recommends legal strategies to the firm’s clients to protect and preserve their investments and rights as shareholders.

Nick has also played a key role as a member of the firm’s securities litigation team and has more than a decade of litigation experience. He contributed to the firm’s discovery efforts in In re Genworth Financial Inc. Securities Litigation, which resulted in a settlement of $219 million, a record for securities litigations in the Eastern District of Virginia, and played a key role in the litigation of In re MF Global Holdings Limited Securities Litigation in connection with the company’s dramatic collapse on October 31, 2011. Nick managed the firm’s staff attorney discovery team through a complex discovery process involving the production of over 46 million pages of documents and dozens of depositions coordinated across multiple MF Global litigations. This effort culminated in a recovery by plaintiffs of more than $234 million, resolving claims against MF Global’s former officers and directors, underwriter defendants, and outside auditor.

Before joining the firm, Nick was an attorney at a prominent plaintiffs’ law firm, where he was a member of the teams that successfully litigated and ultimately secured significant settlements in In re Broadcom Corp. Securities Litigation ($173.5 million) and In re NovaGold Resources Inc. Securities Litigation ($28 million CDN).
