Securities Litigation
If your business is hit by securities-related litigation you need to react fast. At Squire Sanders our litigation professionals have the depth of knowledge, the creativity and the proven expertise to perform to your advantage. Our lawyers have for decades successfully represented companies and their officers and directors in complex securities, financial and corporate litigation and interrelated corporate governance matters. We are also accomplished at resolving complex securities disputes prior to trial.
Our lawyers’ experience includes defending securities and shareholder derivative class actions, federal and state RICO litigation, FDIC and RTC litigation, conducting internal investigations, advising special litigation committees, challenging and defending extraordinary corporate transactions including takeovers, insider trading and market manipulation. In addition, we routinely represent entities and individuals before the SEC, FINRA (formerly the NASD), and in federal and state criminal investigations and proceedings.
A major factor of securities litigation is insurance: coverage of issuers, officers and directors. Squire Sanders will help resolve your insurance concerns by arbitration or mediation and, when necessary, defend you through litigation. We also offer you considerable expertise in evaluating policies, and working in cooperation with insurance carriers and their counsel.
