In recent years, it has become commonplace for a merger or acquisition involving a public company to be followed by shareholder suits alleging disclosure violations, accounting irregularities, stock price manipulation, or breach of fiduciary duty by the directors in connection with the transaction. The attorneys in Stradling’s Securities Litigation Group have significant expertise in defending such suits and take a vigorous and strategic approach from the very start to prevent the litigation from stopping the merger. Stradling’s Securities Litigators have successfully represented clients in state and federal courts around the country, including California, Nevada, and the Delaware Chancery Court. Our litigators also work with the firm’s transactional attorneys and clients to ensure they follow the best practices and make the necessary disclosures to prevent shareholder suits or increase the likelihood they will be dismissed in the pretrial stage. Our attorneys also have extensive experience in other types of litigation arising from mergers and acquisitions, including challenges to “poison pills” or other defenses, disputes over allocation of proceeds among shareholder classes, disputes over “earn-out” provisions, and breaches of representative and warranties by the buyers or sellers of public and private companies. |
