linebreak

Klint Bruno concentrates his practice in securities litigation and representation of mutual fund shareholders in class litigation in state and federal courts.  Mr. Bruno began his investigation of the so-called "market timing" abuses by mutual funds months before widespread media revelations in late 2003 caused the New York Attorney General to file criminal charges.  Mr. Bruno is currently litigating several such cases as private mutual fund class actions. He was a member of the appellate team that won a key victory for shareholders in the United States Supreme Court in Kircher v. Putnam Funds Trust (2006).  Mr. Bruno also has extensive experience in securities arbitrations and mediations.  Before joining the firm, he worked in the securities industry, including service as regional director for a prominent Wall Street financial services firm. He also served as portfolio manager for an arbitrage group of options traders on the floors of both the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.  Mr. Bruno graduated from Northern Illinois University with a bachelor's degree in finance and from John Marshall Law School in Chicago (1999) where he was a member of the law review.  Mr. Bruno serves as co-lead class counsel in Wiggenhorn v. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company pending before the Fourth Circuit.

In addition to his securities litigation experience, Mr. Bruno also has extensive experience handling ERISA claims on behalf of plan trustees and plan beneficiaries. Currently, he is representing a putative class of retirement plan trustees in an ERISA breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit against their 401(k) plan service provider in Iowa federal court in Ruppert v. Principal Life Insurance Company.
