Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP (GPWR) is proud to announce that the Firm, as sole lead counsel for Alibaba investors, attained the highest securities class action settlement of 2025, according to NERA’s Recent Trends in Securities Class Action Litigation: 2025 Full-Year Review. Spearheaded by partners Kara Wolke and Melissa Wright, GPWR leveraged its deep experience and tenacious advocacy into a $433.5 million settlement for the benefit of Alibaba’s investors.
To put that in perspective, NERA reported that all 79 securities class action settlements reached nationwide in 2025 totaled $2.9 billion — meaning this one case accounted for roughly 15% of every settlement dollar recovered across the country that year. By comparison, the median 2025 settlement was just $17 million.
