New Developments in Securities Litigation is an authoritative, insider's perspective on key strategies for securities litigation in a changing legal and economic climate. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts analyze new legislation, recent cases, changing SEC attitudes, and the effect of these changes on attorneys, clients, and judges. These top lawyers discuss the latest legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and the new proxy access standards. Additionally, these leaders present their strategies for cooperating with the SEC, working within admissibility guidelines, and monitoring compliance to prevent litigation from occurring. From defending against class action suits to preventing allegations of insider trading, these authors provide a strategic look into some of the most pressing issues for securities practitioners today.
