Securities Litigation

Mooney Wieland’s litigators are equipped to represent both issuers and purchasers in litigation involving the purchase, sale, or offering of securities. These kinds of lawsuits implicate specialized areas of law, and not merely the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act. Each case requires a tightly tailored strategy that takes into account state law, which may provide a strategic advantage in many situations, especially for plaintiffs. 

We work closely with our clients, their management, and in-house counsel to aggressively represent their interests, including for example the following types of cases:

  • Sale of unregistered securities;
  • Securities fraud;
  • Accounting and audit irregularities;
  • Breach of contract and breach of warranty relating to subscription agreements and other investment contracts;
  • Misleading disclosures in private placement memoranda and other offering materials;
  • Investor and shareholder derivative actions for breach of fiduciary duty; and
  • Claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing brought by corporate constituents.

Our attorneys work hard to drive cases toward a brisk resolution, but if trial is necessary, we have the experience and skill to get the best result possible. 

In addition to acting as lead counsel in securities litigation, Mooney Wieland is well situated to act as local counsel in class-action lawsuits relating to securities.
