Securities litigation
Institutional and retail investor recovery, coordinated across markets.
Securities claims are the most quantitatively disciplined collective actions: loss is modelled from price impact, and the class is defined by the trading window. Sections 90 and 90A of FSMA, Rule 10b-5 and the Dutch foundation model each offer a route, and the same facts frequently support more than one.
We advise institutional investors on whether to participate, opt out or lead, and we say plainly when the recovery will not justify the participation.
