Event Synopsis:
In 2017, significant securities litigation filing trends include litigation involving life sciences companies, financial misrepresentation, and federal court merger objection. Class actions have also become a commonplace in U.S. securities litigation. Although, jurisprudence in some countries is gradually addressing these issues, approaches in terms of some factors, such as the type of claimants with ability to sue, are slightly different. International companies must keep themselves abreast of the latest key takeaways in the changing securities and shareholder litigation landscape.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and litigators assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of bringing or defending against international securities and shareholder claims. They will delve into the depth-analysis of the current mechanisms and procedures surrounding global securities litigation. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical strategies in bringing out the best in these lawsuits in a rapidly evolving legal climate.
Key topics include:
- Securities and Shareholder Litigation Filing Trends
- Global Securities Litigation Developments
