Helping You Get Through a Complicated Process
Securities fraud cases are extremely complex and require experienced lawyers with special skills to navigate the process. Securities fraud, in its most basic form, happens when the public is misled into buying a security based on inaccurate information about a company and its operations, financial condition, or future earnings potential. In other cases, corporate misconduct, such as improper behavior by management or misstatements of earnings, may come into play.
Our firm focuses on the two primary types of securities fraud cases: the first, sometimes called Section 10(b) refers to any type of deceptive, misleading or improper behavior associated with the purchase or sale of a security which result in investment losses. The other, sometimes called Section 11 deals specifically with public offerings of stock, bonds or other types of securities where companies raise money on the capital markets.
Securities Fraud
Securities fraud happens when corporations or their representatives mislead investors about the value of their securities. Corporate misconduct including misstatement of earnings, accounting manipulations, or otherfinancial misrepresentations contributes to artificially inflate the stock price. Eventually the fraud is detected, the stock price drops and you are left holding an empty bag.
This type of deceptive conduct is illegal and a violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Victims in these cases have the right to recover their investment losses they suffered as a result of the fraud.
Public Offerings
In addition to securities fraud, companies also engage in other deceptive conduct. When a company needs money it will often sell new securities to the public by making a public offering. Unfortunately, in an effort to make its offering look as appealing as possible, a company may include incorrect, incomplete or misleading information in the registration statement and prospectus that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission before the securities can be offered to the public. Failure to properly disclose pertinent informationis against the law and is a violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
If you lost money on such an offering, you may have a claim against the company, its officers and directors, and the underwriting firms.
