Overview
Securities Litigation: A Practitioner’s Guide is a first-stop, comprehensive reference tool that supports securities law litigators throughout the lifecycle of a securities lawsuit, from the filing of a complaint through the case’s conclusion. Clearly organized into chapters focused on specific legal issues, the book examines key substantive, procedural, and strategic issues related to each stage of litigation, including an analysis of pleading requirements, discovery, class certification, loss causation, experts, summary judgment, trial, settlement, and more. The book also includes chapters covering the defense of specific types of claims brought under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934, and chapters on several topics closely related to the defense of securities class action litigation, including settlement, indemnification and D&O insurance, SEC enforcement actions, and derivative litigation.
Prepared by leading and highly experienced securities litigators, each chapter offers an in-depth examination of the law governing each stage of securities litigation and provides practitioners with detailed analyses of key issues as well as practical tips and strategic guidance to support practitioners throughout case planning, discovery, damages, trial, settlement, and indemnification. An easy-to-use reference tool, this guide will save securities litigators significant time and effort, particularly with respect to legal research.
Fully updated every year, Securities Litigation discusses the impact of important legal developments to help securities litigation practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance officers, investors, federal and state regulators, and professors of all levels of experience stay up-to date on the latest trends and key developments in securities litigation, including “event-driven” lawsuits brought by investors, “safe harbor” protection, loss causation and damages, corrective disclosures, materialization of risk, aggregate damages, corporate indemnification, D&O insurance, and carrier consent to settlement.
