Securities Class Actions

Investors in securities markets rely on the integrity of the market and the fact that corporate officers and directors will act responsibly. False and misleading information about a company’s financial condition or products artificially inflates the price of its stock, and, when the underlying fraud or corporate wrongdoings are revealed, investors who purchased the stock at artificially inflated prices suffer tremendous loss. These investors need an avenue to seek redress on behalf of themselves and others who have suffered similar loss.
