Securities Class Action Litigation: What’s New and What Lies Ahead
The reduction of mergers and acquisitions (M&A)-related class actions and the state 1933 Act have driven a significant decline in securities class action filings over the last years. However, despite the decrease in the overall federal filings, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs)-related cases have doubled, bringing newer litigation risks and additional ramifications in this category.
Several court decisions and regulatory developments continue to shape the securities class action litigation landscape. Thus, practitioners are encouraged to keep track of all updates to position themselves better in this field of law.
Listen as experienced securities litigators Brendan J. Rudolph (Cornerstone Research) and Jonathan A. Choa (Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP) provide a comprehensive discussion of the recent enforcement trends and legislative developments surrounding securities class action litigation. Speakers will also offer practical tips and strategies in this rapidly evolving legal climate.
