Securities law supported by effective plaintiff securities litigation ensure that investors receive accurate financial and other significant information concerning securities being offered for public sale. This includes securities sold on public stock exchanges and through private investment offerings. Securities law and related suits also prohibit deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraud in the sale of securities. Investors who lose money because they received incomplete or inaccurate disclosure of important information have rights under federal and state securities and other laws. Effective enforcement of securities laws is crucial to the functioning of financial markets, capital formation, entrepreneurism, and innovation.
Issues regarding corporate governance and shareholder disputes have increased in importance. When business interests diverge, corporate governance issues may arise through derivative lawsuits asserting allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, self-dealing, minority owner oppression, or theft. These disputes can be related to mergers and acquisitions, partnership disputes, and earn-out disagreements, or they may result from officer elections and demands for action, accountings, meetings, or records.
Securities litigation and shareholder disputes sometimes result in class actions, addressing a wide range of issues involving corporate governance and operations, including:
- IPOs, secondary offering, and private placements
- Insider trading
- Tender offers and proxy solicitations
- Mergers, acquisitions, failures to pay distributions or dividends, termination of partnership agreements, earn-out disagreements, and other significant management decisions, including those regarding stock options
- Buyouts, breaches of contract and fiduciary duty, fraud, and other torts
- Purchases and sales of cryptocurrency, including bitcoin
- Derivative litigation, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, self-dealing, squeeze-outs, and suppression of minority shareholders
- Restating earnings
- Company earnings projections and representations
- Suppression of the rights of minority owners
