Description
Securities litigation is arguably the most economically significant form of litigation worldwide. Legal concepts and techniques developed in the United States have been adapted and are now being used in Europe and elsewhere. In a lively and interactive format, counsel from multiple jurisdictions will look at the growth of securities litigation from the perspective of both claimants’ and defendants’ lawyers, and discuss: • What is ‘securities litigation’? • The background of securities litigation: corporate governance, and securities regulation and enforcement • Market/price disrupting events • Building a claimant ‘class’ • Funding • Procedural tools • The future of securities litigation: global growth?
