Experienced litigators manage securities disputes

Controversies surrounding securities can arise between the issuing company and its shareholders, or between broker/dealers and their customers. We vigorously defend our corporate clients against shareholder class action lawsuits for alleged violations of securities regulations, including actions under:

Securities Act of 1933: covering IPO liability

• Sec. 5 (failure to register)
• Sec. 11 (misstatements or omissions in registration statement)
• Sec. 12 (misstatements or omissions in offering statement)
• Sec. 17 (fraud)

Securities Exchange Act of 1934: covering ongoing disclosure violations

• Sec. 10(b) Rule 10b-5 (insider trading, tipping)
• Sec. 18 (misleading statements in filed reports)

In addition to representing companies in these actions, we also defend clients against charges of control person liability directed at officers and directors. We understand that your continued relationship with investors depends on your firm’s reputation and integrity and will work to preserve both with informed counsel and advocacy.
