Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP
 PROFILE
Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach, crusader for the underdog or blatant opportunist -- you be the judge. The law firm is well-known for representing plaintiffs in class-action lawsuits against some leading corporate names, including Exxon (now Exxon Mobil) and R. J. Reynolds. Renowned for bringing shareholder suits, Milberg Weiss prompted federal legislation in 1995 to minimize frivolous lawsuits. The firm (with about 170 attorneys) also has represented Holocaust survivors in lawsuits against the German companies for which they were forced to work. Lawrence Milberg and Melvyn Weiss founded the firm in 1966, the year the rule creating class-action litigation was enacted.
