In recent years, the number of corporate financial scandals has
grown at an alarming rate. The trend of officers and directors
defrauding and misleading investors has continued at a steady
pace. Direct results of this type of corporate malfeasance are
monetary losses for investors, which often are individuals that
can least afford an investment loss.
In 1995, Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act ("PSLRA") in order to tip the balance of power back
into the hands of investors. Indeed, any investor, regardless
of the size of his or her investment, can initiate securities
class action lawsuits when their purchase or sale of a security
was due to a false or misleading statement, or an omission, by
officers or directors of a public company. Corporate and securities
fraud litigation insures honest financial reporting as well as
integrity within the securities markets.
Securities Fraud attorneys file lawsuits on behalf of defrauded
investors in cases involving issues including:
- Federal securities law violations
- Shareholder rights violations
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act violations (accounting fraud, false corporate
filings)
- Breach of fiduciary duties
- Insider trading
