The Securities Litigation Practice Group has significant experience handling complex securities-related disputes. We represent broker-dealers, underwriters and investment advisors, including their officers, directors, and controlling shareholders.
Our experience encompasses the handling of fraud, breach of contract, churning and suitability claims, as well as insider trading and breach of fiduciary duty allegations. The Group defends securities class actions, shareholder derivative claims and actions brought by individuals. We practice in all forums including state and federal courts. We also appear regularly in arbitration proceedings before self-regulatory organizations including all national securities exchanges.
The Group also has experience in representing clients in connection with investigations initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers and other self-regulatory bodies, as well as various state agencies having jurisdiction over securities matters.
We work with our firm's corporate securities attorneys in determining strategies for defending and resolving securities, shareholder and complex financial transaction disputes. The Group focuses on early case evaluation to assess possible resolution through mediation and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution.
