Securities: Litigation

About

Provided by Dechert LLP

Clients choose Dechert to defend them in securities and other shareholder litigation based on our history of creative representation and stellar performance.

Our lawyers represent public companies and their executives, officers, directors and board committees, as well as broker-dealers, mutual fund companies and other financial institutions, across the spectrum of securities litigation matters.

These include class actions, shareholder derivative suits, mutual fund litigation, M&A litigation, banking and financial institution litigation, broker-dealer disputes, internal investigations, non-public regulatory investigations, disciplinary hearings, inquiries and enforcement proceedings.

We frequently appear both in court and before federal and state securities regulators: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Department of Justice (DOJ), self-regulatory organizations such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), state agencies and attorneys general, and all of the major stock exchanges.

Our securities litigation team — which is one of the largest in the U.S. — covers all major jurisdictions and market sectors. In addition to handling U.S.-based matters, we have either represented clients or coordinated their representation globally, including in notable jurisdictions such as the UK, France, Germany, Russia and Hong Kong.
