What Grant & Eisenhofer does

Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. is a privately-held plaintiff-side litigation law firm founded in 1997 and domiciled in Delaware, operating as a Professional Association. The firm represents institutional investors (pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies), public entities (state and local governments, Attorneys General, municipalities), and catastrophically injured individuals in complex, often precedent-setting cases against large corporations and institutions. Its core practice areas span U.S. securities litigation, public entity representation, antitrust, bankruptcy and distressed assets, birth injury, complex injury litigation, consumer class actions, corporate governance, criminal and sexual violence matters, environmental and toxic tort, and international matters, with coverage across all 50 U.S. states and abroad.

The firm is anchored by a deep bench of trial-tested litigators and is recognized by Chambers USA as "aggressive, effective and successful," with co-founder and Managing Director Jay W. Eisenhofer leading the U.S. Securities practice. Its client-facing technology consists of two secure portals — an Institutional Investor Client Portal (great.gelaw.com) and a Mass Tort Client Portal (geftp.gelaw.com) — supplemented by a Portfolio Monitoring service for institutional investors seeking early visibility into potential securities actions, plus the non-profit Grant & Eisenhofer ESG Institute formed in 2017 to advance ESG-related shareholder advocacy.

The firm operates primarily on contingency fee arrangements, with supplemental hourly or flat fee billing, and derives no disclosed revenue from technology licensing. Marquee outcomes include the $3.2 billion Tyco securities fraud settlement, the $922 million UnitedHealth derivative settlement (largest in U.S. history), $486 million for Pfizer investors, $448 million for Global Crossing investors, and an $18.2 million WakeMed birth injury jury verdict, contributing to cumulative client recoveries exceeding $30 billion across more than 1,000 cases.
