What Entwistle & Cappucci does

Entwistle & Cappucci LLP is a national litigation law firm organized as a Limited Liability Partnership and headquartered in New York City (230 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor) with a second office in Austin, Texas (500 W 2nd Street, Suite 1900). Founded in 1998, the firm operates with a headcount in the 51-100 employee range and provides representation across twelve interconnected practice areas - Securities Litigation (the flagship), Antitrust and Competition, Corporate and Commercial Litigation, Corporate Governance and Fiduciary Duty, Creditors' Rights and Bankruptcy, Employment Litigation and Counseling, Governmental Affairs, Insurance Litigation, Investigations and White Collar Defense, Mergers, Acquisitions, Capital and Exit Strategies, Appeals, and general Corporate matters. Its attorneys include former federal and state prosecutors with prior experience at DOJ, SEC, CFTC, and FINRA, and the firm has earned recognition from U.S. News, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Law 360, National Law Journal, and The American Lawyer.

The firm's client base comprises public and private corporations, hedge funds, public pension funds, governmental entities, domestic and foreign financial services companies, leading institutional investors, emerging business enterprises, and individual entrepreneurs. Notable engagements include the $1.1 billion Royal Ahold settlement (largest class action recovery ever from a European issuer), $590 million in the Citigroup subprime mortgage-related settlement, $758 million in Tremont/Madoff recoveries, $1.87 billion in the credit default swaps antitrust litigation (preliminarily approved), the 100% recovery of over $1 billion in MF Global customer funds, and a $126.3 million Alta Mesa Resources settlement in 2025. The firm publishes case results through its "News & Media" section and partners selectively with peer litigation boutiques such as Saxena White P.A. and Susman Godfrey L.L.P. on co-counsel matters.

The firm generates revenue through professional service fees - hourly billing, contingency fees in securities class actions, and fixed fees for specific matters - with no publicly disclosed pricing. As a private LLP without outside investors, parent company, or private equity ownership, the firm is controlled by its founding partners (Andrew J. Entwistle and Vincent R. Cappucci) and operates a sales-led go-to-market anchored by direct relationships with institutional investors and corporate clients, supplemented by recognition in legal industry rankings.
