New Developments in Securities Litigation, 2015 ed.: Leading Lawyers on Adapting to Trends in Securities Litigation and Regulatory Enforcement (Inside the Minds)

In the wake of Halliburton II, Omnicare, and other cases, securities litigation is rapidly changing. Enforcement agencies are taking a tougher stance on violations, sometimes using administrative proceedings to avoid the courts altogether. Cybersecurity, merger litigation, and advertising to solicit plaintiffs are only some of the new trends shaping this area of law. In New Developments in Securities Litigation, experienced lawyers tell you how to address and navigate these changes in order to protect your clients from future issues and defend them in current cases and enforcement proceedings. These authors address the intricacies of defending clients from fraud accusations, share tactics for disputing class certification, and discuss when price impact challenges are appropriate. You also receive the benefit of their insights on important cases, recent legislation, and the likely future of securities law. As the modern market is fast-paced and constantly shifting, the legislative environment involves increased scrutiny and new enforcement practices, and evolving technology complicates matters, staying on top of this area of law with guidance from top practitioners becomes increasingly important.
