Aggressive Representation of Companies, Officers, and Directors.
Public companies, and their officers and directors, regularly engage us in defense against vast class and derivative actions alleging wrongdoing in the securities, commodities, antitrust, and other markets.
Experience in Parallel Proceedings.
Our government enforcement defense experience gives us an edge in handling class or derivative actions brought in the context of parallel criminal or regulatory investigations. We leverage our experience in other practice areas to avoid the pitfalls and exploit the opportunities created by parallel proceedings. Clients count on our ability to adeptly manage the complex moving parts of their cases.
