Securities litigation is among the most complex areas of corporate law. These cases often involve regulatory investigations, class actions, or derivative suits that can significantly impact a company’s future. Claims may be brought by shareholders, investors, or government agencies, with allegations ranging from misleading statements and omissions to insider trading, corporate mismanagement, or violations of federal securities laws.
At TKST, our attorneys represent corporations, officers, directors, and financial professionals in high-stakes securities and shareholder litigation. We defend companies before state and federal courts, arbitral panels, and regulatory agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Our team combines legal precision with practical business insight, helping clients protect assets, maintain compliance, and safeguard corporate reputation.
Shareholder Derivative Suits
We defend directors and officers against claims alleging mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, or harm to the corporation.
Securities Class Actions
Our attorneys represent companies accused of misleading investors, misstating earnings, or violating securities disclosure rules.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty Claims
We protect corporate leaders against allegations of self-dealing, conflicts of interest, or failure to act in the company’s best interests.
SEC & Regulatory Investigations
Our team handles enforcement actions and investigations by the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators.
Mergers & Acquisitions Litigation
We represent companies facing challenges from shareholders regarding disclosures, valuations, or fairness of transactions.
Corporate Governance Disputes
Our attorneys advise boards and executives in conflicts involving voting rights, shareholder meetings, or governance practices.
Early Risk Evaluation
Time is critical in securities and shareholder litigation. We act immediately to review financial disclosures, corporate filings, earnings reports, and public statements to identify vulnerabilities in claims. By uncovering weaknesses early, we position our clients for motions to dismiss, narrow the scope of discovery, or shift leverage in settlement discussions before costly litigation unfolds.
Regulatory Navigation
Many securities disputes involve regulatory agencies such as the SEC, FINRA, or state-level enforcement bodies. Our attorneys bring deep experience working with these regulators, helping clients navigate investigations, subpoenas, and compliance reviews. We work to mitigate enforcement risks, reduce penalties, and protect executives from personal liability while ensuring the company remains compliant with evolving securities laws.
Tailored Litigation Strategies
No two disputes are the same. We craft defense strategies that reflect the unique circumstances of each case — from shareholder derivative suits to securities fraud class actions. Our team evaluates whether early settlement, arbitration, or aggressive trial litigation will best serve the client’s business and reputation. By aligning legal strategies with long-term business objectives, we help minimize disruption while protecting both the company’s assets and leadership team.
Transparent Communication
We know that securities and shareholder litigation often involves sensitive issues that affect not just legal outcomes but investor confidence and corporate governance. That’s why we maintain clear, consistent communication with boards, executives, and corporate counsel. Our attorneys provide practical updates, candid risk assessments, and strategic guidance at every stage of the process, ensuring leadership has the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions under pressure.
