A former Assistant U.S. Attorney known for his knack of “eyeballing fraud” when he sees it, Labaton Keller Sucharow partner Michael Canty brings a prosecutor’s perspective to securities fraud and data privacy cases.

One group of plaintiffs found themselves in good hands last September, when Canty closed a $90 million settlement against insurance giant Allstate. The class action suit alleged that Allstate implemented an aggressive growth strategy, including lowering its underwriting standards, to grow its auto insurance business.
