Securities: Litigation

About

Provided by Goodwin

When a company is faced with a securities class action or shareholder derivative litigation, they need a partner who understands what is at stake and can think outside the box to achieve resolution. Goodwin’s deep experience, creative thinking and tenacity has led to our involvement in precedent-setting securities cases in courts across the country. The results we achieve are best of breed and have helped shape the law nationally, including outright dismissals of billions of dollars in putative class action and shareholder derivative claims. Our cases range from defending high tech and biotech companies in class action securities fraud litigation brought following restatements of earnings or the release of bad business news, to resolving shareholder derivative challenges, to multibillion dollar mergers and acquisitions. 

We have in-depth experience handling securities class actions, shareholder derivative litigation, M&A litigation, and private equity and portfolio company litigation. We also work hand-in-hand with our Enforcement + Government Investigations practice on SEC enforcement actions and state agency investigations, responding to investigation requests, negotiating the resolution of enforcement actions, and obtaining successful results for our clients.
