We represent clients in defending shareholder class actions and derivative suits challenging, among other things, the adequacy of corporate disclosures and the validity of corporate transactions; defending corporate and individual clients in connection with investigations and civil proceedings brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, concerning, among other things, insider trading and broker-dealer compliance; and defending and prosecuting claims arising out of complex derivatives, commodities and foreign exchange transactions, among others.
We have litigated cases that have helped to establish the law on such issues as the requirement of shareholder demand in derivative litigation, the application of the business judgment rule to preclude shareholder derivative actions, the definition of a security and the constitutionality of anti-takeover devices in hostile battles for corporate control. Our practice includes individuals from a wide diversity of backgrounds, including former prosecutors and attorneys for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
