Securities Litigation and Class Action
Just as SEC regulations and enforcement have become more challenging for private funds, so too has the securities litigation environment. Schulte’s securities litigation practice has an extensive track record defending private funds in securities claims and class actions, and representing the interests of directors serving on the boards of public companies. We are among only a handful of law firms to have successfully defended a federal securities fraud class action all the way through trial to a jury verdict of no liability.
