LA Plaintiffs Firms

Hi all,

I have a year of big law, a DCt clerkship, and (soon to be) COA clerkship under my belt. I am very interested in going to a plaintiffs firm in LA after my second clerkship and am looking to crowdsource some information.

What plaintiffs firms in LA offer the most sophisticated work in any/all of securities litigation, mass torts, or antitrust? I am prioritizing early experience, sophisticated/complex work, and (ideally) coworkers with a high pedigree. Pay is obviously important, but I am willing to accept the risk of high and low years in lieu of the more stable big law scale. I've done some research on this already and am very surprised the plaintiffs shops in California seem to congregate in SF and SD rather than LA, so hoping someone can point me to some LA firms.

Thank you!

The only two that fit the bill are Dovel and Susman. The rest are either specialty or much more hit-and-miss.
