When corporate acts warrant a closer look.

Our work spans the disputes that arise when those entrusted with a company—or with providing investors accurate information—fail to meet their obligations.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Challenging conflicted deals that shortchange stockholders — before and after closing.

Mergers and acquisitions can create conflicts between stockholders and the directors, officers, controlling stockholders, and advisors involved in negotiating a transaction. We investigate and litigate deals involving conflicts of interest, inadequate consideration, flawed sale processes, disclosure violations, and other conduct that may deprive stockholders of the value or protections to which they are entitled. Our attorneys have challenged transactions before closing and recovered substantial value for stockholders after closing.

Corporate Governance & Derivative Litigation

Holding directors and officers accountable when they breach their duties to the company.

Some corporate misconduct harms the company itself rather than stockholders directly. In a derivative action, stockholders may pursue claims on the company's behalf when those responsible for managing the company cannot or will not do so. We litigate derivative and other corporate governance claims involving conflicts of interest, executive compensation, misuse of corporate assets, controlling-stockholder conduct, and other breaches of fiduciary duty. Our attorneys have recovered substantial value for companies and secured important corporate governance reforms.

Securities Litigation

Holding companies and insiders accountable for materially false or misleading information.

Investors in the public markets depend on accurate information. Federal securities laws provide remedies when companies and other market participants make materially false or misleading statements or omit information they are required to disclose, causing investors to suffer losses. We represent investors in securities class actions and other securities litigation, including cases arising from public offerings, corporate disclosures, and other communications to the market. Our attorneys have obtained significant recoveries and important appellate victories for investors.
