Perrie Weiner
Partner in Charge, Los Angeles Office; Chair, North America Securities Litigation Group
Baker McKenzie
Perrie Weiner is the partner in charge of Baker McKenzie’s Los Angeles office, and chair of the firm’s North America Securities Litigation Group. He joined the firm just over five years ago — when there were only four lawyers in the LA office — and was tasked with leading, growing and diversifying it. He also led the securities litigation practice group in North America. Weiner’s practice focuses on securities litigation, SEC enforcement matters and high stakes business litigation. He advises private equity funds, including hedge funds, broker-dealers, underwriters, placement agents and issuers in SEC and FINRA enforcement proceedings, and in white collar criminal proceedings. He also defends both underwriters and issuers in securities class actions, shareholder derivative actions, and takeover defense litigation.
