Robbins

What Robbins does

Robbins LLP is a San Diego-based complex litigation law firm founded in 2002 that specializes in shareholder rights, securities fraud, and consumer class action litigation. The firm represents individual shareholders, institutional investors (pension funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, family offices), financial advisors, whistleblowers, and consumers in matters involving securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, M&A disputes, antitrust violations, False Claims Act qui tam actions, and deceptive business practices.

The firm operates a contingency fee model: Robbins LLP advances all attorneys' fees and litigation expenses and is only compensated if a recovery is obtained. There is no proprietary technology described; the firm's primary technology-mediated asset is "Stock Watch," a free investment monitoring service that monitors publicly traded U.S. investments, alerts enrolled investors to corporate misconduct, and surfaces class action settlement claims. Stock Watch is supported by a proprietary database of active investigations and cases with over two decades of historical data, and it functions as the firm's primary top-of-funnel client acquisition channel, converting into attorney-led representations through direct consultations and referrals from financial advisors.

The business is structured as a California limited liability partnership with 51-100 employees, led by eight partners including founder Brian J. Robbins, alongside a bench of associates and of-counsel attorneys. Robbing LLP has cumulatively recovered more than $1 billion for shareholders and consumers through settlements and corporate governance reforms in matters against defendants including Altria, Wells Fargo, Hawaiian Electric, Cardinal Health, Titan Corporation, and private equity defendants in a $590 million+ antitrust action. The firm has earned eight consecutive U.S. News Best Law Firm designations (2017-2024), Legal 500 recognition in M&A Litigation (2013-2018), Chambers California Spotlight Guide (2025), multiple Super Lawyers Top 50 honors, and the 2026 Daily Journal CLAY Award.
