James Tharin

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chicago Clearing Corporation

Securities class action claim filing is a natural fit for Jim Tharin. After graduating from Carleton College in 1981, Jim joined Merrill Lynch and then Shearson/American Express as a retail account executive. In 1985, Jim joined Fossett Corporation as a broker/dealer market making member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Jim worked the wild trading pits of the CBOE as Fossett Corporation’s Vice President of Trading and as CEO of Jackson Financial Group. Through his service on several key CBOE committees, he helped build the options industry into the massive derivatives market that we know today.

In 1993, Jim founded Certificate Clearing Corporation (CCC). Under his leadership the firm became the preeminent class action coupon market maker in the United States. CCC recovered over $300 million dollars for harmed class members in 20 unique class action coupon settlements. Jim and CCC pioneered the most effective methods to bring tremendous value to the class action coupon claimant, predominately in settlements where they would have otherwise received nothing.

Jim’s dual expertise in trading and class actions made CCC uniquely qualified to segue its class action coupon business to class action securities claim filing. CCC is now the undisputed champion and unquestionably the world’s leading class action securities claim filing provider. Today, CCC has 2,155 institutional clients that represent over 5 million individual accounts and manage assets of more than $5 Trillion. Since 2005, CCC has impeccably filed more than 10 million claims and recovered nearly $1 Billion for its securities class action clients worldwide. With the never-ending parade of class actions, CCC’s numbers simply grow and grow.
