Practices

High-stakes securities litigation and regulatory investigations put companies and their officers and directors at risk for business disruption, reputational damage, and monetary damages. Organizations facing such daunting litigation need counsel with the depth of experience and proven track record to protect both their legal interests and their business objectives.

Akerman’s Securities Litigation Practice has experience in all aspects of complex securities litigation. Recognized by U.S. News – Best Lawyers as a national leader in Securities Regulation and by Law360 as a national leader in Securities Litigation, we defend companies and their individual officers and directors facing bet-the-company securities litigation or regulatory investigations. Our team includes former SEC lawyers who have an insider’s perspective on the inner workings of the agency, as well as former prosecutors with deep insights on investigations with criminal law implications. As a testament to our reputation and record of success, we have been approved as securities litigation counsel by all major directors and officers (D&O) insurance carriers.

Our lawyers have defended hundreds of securities cases collectively seeking billions of dollars in damages, involving allegations of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and accounting improprieties in jurisdictions across the country. We represent clients who are targets of investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and other regulatory bodies. We also regularly represent companies in conducting internal investigations stemming from whistleblower and other allegations, as well as public company audit committees investigating misconduct and accounting fraud.
