It's family vacation week, and I am letting securities experts provide you interesting and exciting information far beyond what I could put together (frankly regardless of whether I am away from the office or not).  The D&O Diary (a great blog) hosted a guest post by Michael Klausner, Professor of Law, Stanford Law School, and Jason Hegland, Executive Director of Stanford Securities Litigation Analytics reporting on data collected on securities litigation.  Read the full post, Deeper Trends in Securities Class Action Litigation 2006-2015, and look for these highlighted trends:

  • Increased securities class action filing and dismissals
  • Types of cases (overstated earnings and product/operations cases)
  • Targeted industries (technology and health)
  • Role of plaintiffs' law firms; and
  • Settlement timing (discovery) and amounts

Happy Summer!
