Jules Cantor focuses his practice on complex litigation, with an emphasis on securities and shareholder litigation, as well as corporate investigation matters.

Jules has substantial experience with securities fraud class actions, shareholder derivative lawsuits, books-and-records demands, and investigations conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). He coordinates the Firm's publication efforts for its SEC Enforcement in Financial Reporting and Disclosure series and contributes to its Securities Litigation Year in Review.

Jules maintains an active pro bono practice, representing clients in immigration and civil rights litigation. Through the Firm's Laredo Project, Jules has first-chaired a trial team that secured a grant of asylum and has successfully defended several clients' relief before the Board of Immigration Appeals. He also served as lead counsel at a bond hearing that resulted in a client's release from custody after a federal court granted the client's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Additionally, Jules is a member of the Anti-Defamation League's Glass Leadership Institute cohort.
