We have begun worldwide movements, scored world record firsts, and have been on the cutting edge of important issues.
Record Breaking Settlements and Awards

- The $429 million arbitration award against PaineWebber is the largest securities arbitration award in U.S. history.
- Our $79 million settlement against Wells Fargo this year is the largest executive deferred compensation recovery in U.S. history.
Trailblazing Expertise
Since our inception, Ajamie LLP’s groundbreaking work has been the catalyst for some of the most high-profile litigation in the United States and globally. Our work continues to have profound implications for millions of people across the world:
- We were the first to challenge Harvey Weinstein for his abuse of women and our investigation into him, and written report, in 2016 preceded and initiated the 2017 revelations in the press about his crimes, led to his trial and conviction and was instrumental in recharging the global movement that has improved the lives of hundreds of millions of women.
- Our first major case against Wells Fargo appeared on the front page of The New York Times in 2013 and spurred the subsequent investigations into Wells Fargo that revealed the two million false customer accounts it had created and other illegalities that now are well-known and have resulted in billions of dollars of fines against that bank.
