Using Class Actions to Stop Securities Fraud

The buying and selling of securities is dependent on honest reporting of corporate activities. What a company says about itself and what others say about a company affects the company's value in the marketplace.

Securities class action lawsuits offer a voice to those who have lost money because of false reporting of results or expectations. When a company fails to mention losses or high-risk assets, that company is not giving necessary and accurate information to investors and prospective investors.

Class action securities litigation is complex. It requires lawyers who have in-depth knowledge of accounting practices and securities markets. It also requires substantial financial resources for investigation of the charges, collection of evidence and complicated litigation.

  • Shareholder derivative suits: Did the company hide important information from shareholders? Did mismanagement affect share value?
  • Accounting fraud: Did the company deliberately mislead regulators and investors about financial matters?
  • Broker fraud: Did a stockbroker pump up the stock or make promises about expected returns?

In securities fraud cases, many investors are often affected. For an individual investor, the cost of litigation may outstrip the losses sustained. A class action lawsuit brings together all those affected in one court action. Contact ClassAction.com about your situation. We will obtain a case evaluation.
