Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Rehns was an Associate at Schoengold Sporn Laitman & Lometti, P.C. (“SSLL”), where he practiced in the areas of securities fraud and consumer class action litigation since 2007.

While at SSLL, Mr. Rehns devoted his practice to the representation of individual and institutional shareholders who had been injured as the result of corporate fraud or corporate malfeasance. Notably, Mr. Rehns represented numerous Taft-Hartley pension funds in securities class actions suits arising from material misstatements in Registration Statements and Prospectuses issued in connection with purchases of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) collateralized by “toxic loans,” including sub-prime, Alt-A and other fraudulently originated mortgages.  In addition, Mr. Rehns represented a Taft-Hartley pension fund in a securities fraud class action against SPX Corporation arising from material misrepresentations about SPX’s business segments, free cash flow, and $45 million of alleged insider sales in the weeks leading up to SPX’s negative disclosure. This matter was successfully litigated and resulted in a $10 million cash settlement.

Mr. Rehns has also represented classes of consumers of both manufactured and banking products who had purchased defective products or had been defrauded by unfair business practices.

Mr. Rehns earned his Jurist Doctorate from New York Law School in 2005 as a Dean’s List recipient.
