What Miller Shah LLP does

Miller Shah LLP is a privately held, US-based full-service law firm organized as a Limited Liability Partnership, with a primary office in Philadelphia and additional locations in New York City, Hoboken (NJ), Chester (CT), Fort Lauderdale, Beverly Hills, San Diego, and San Francisco, plus an international office in Milan, Italy. The firm originated as a litigation boutique and has expanded into a multi-practice full-service firm serving institutional investors, labor unions, corporate clients, and individual plaintiffs, with a stated cumulative track record of over $1 billion in client recoveries and over $100 million in cy pres and charitable donations. Its engagements span ERISA and employee benefits litigation, whistleblower and False Claims Act / qui tam matters, securities regulation and corporate governance, class actions, antitrust and competition, labor and employment, intellectual property, insurance coverage, consumer protection, business counseling and corporate transactions, international business and trade, alternative dispute resolution, and institutional investor services.

The firm generates revenue on a professional services basis through contingency fees, hourly billing, and consultation arrangements across its litigation and advisory practices, with no publicly disclosed fee schedules. Client acquisition combines content marketing through a topical blog, organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram, SEO optimization of practice-area pages, professional referrals, and conferences; initial intake flows through a consultation phone line and online intake form. The underlying technology stack is conventional — there is no proprietary AI/ML, product, or platform productized for clients, and differentiation rests on attorney credentials (degrees with distinction and judicial clerkships), peer recognition (Chambers USA New York Spotlight Guide 2026, Martindale-Hubbell, Avvo, Super Lawyers), and global reach via the International Advisory Group and the Howard Brown / HS Brown Limited affiliation, supported by co-counsel relationships such as with Capozzi Adler in ERISA matters.

Operationally, the partnership-led structure is staffed by nine named partners (Miller, Shah, Goldstein, Tang, Parke, Bennett, Zipperian, Rubinow, Berin, Vilaboa), Senior Counsel, Of Counsel, Associates, Law Clerks, Project Analysts, and Legal Assistants, led by Managing Partner James E. Miller. The firm's strategic posture is to broaden from plaintiff-side litigation roots into a full-service offering with cross-border delivery capability, evidenced by the Milan office, the Corporate / Strategic M&A Chambers recognition, and expansion of website practice areas into commercial litigation, insurance coverage, private client services, and business counseling.
