Securities Litigation and Enforcement
Scope of Practice | Case Studies
Overview
Securities litigation goes to the core of a company’s business. The lawsuits or investigations are almost always public, frequently challenge the honesty and integrity of corporate management, and sometimes threaten the very existence of the company. Faced with these challenges, companies, directors and officers, stockholders and the firms that help make corporate transactions a reality need legal counsel who have mastered the law, understand the corporation’s business and industry, and have the resources and commitment to get results.
V&E’s Securities Litigation group represents clients throughout the nation in cutting-edge and bet-the-company litigation, investigations, and enforcement proceedings involving securities and shareholder disputes. The strength of V&E’s Capital Markets and Securities practice, which consistently ranks among the leaders nationally in IPOs, equity, and debt offerings, provides the impetus and depth for much of our practice. We also have some of the finest trial lawyers in the nation, which assures our clients that we can see even the most difficult case through to the end.
Our lawyers are recognized as top-tier securities and business litigators, and in 2011, a new national study by BTI Consulting Group ranks V&E fourth out of more than 400 law firms when it comes to building and maintaining personal relationships with clients. V&E is committed to providing the best representation for our clients, and we have the depth, experience, and geographic reach to get the most cost-effective results.
Scope of Practice
We represent issuers, underwriters, accounting firms, officers, directors, and individuals in hundreds of class actions, shareholder derivative cases, merger and acquisition challenges, broker-dealer arbitrations, and governmental and self-regulatory organization investigations that allege securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and other corporate wrongdoing. In just the last decade, we have represented clients in more than 400 securities cases. We frequently assist audit committees and special litigation committees with internal investigations into alleged fraud, criminal activities, and accounting-related issues. We also regularly defend companies and individuals in civil and criminal enforcement actions and investigations initiated by state and federal government agencies and commissions.
Our lawyers are well known by both the leading shareholder litigation firms and D&O insurers, and our proven record in such cases can benefit our clients in court proceedings, settlement negotiations, and enforcement matters.
