Description:
A motion to dismiss often proves a decisive event in resolving a federal
securities class action, raising the stakes both for defeating or
winning the motion. A premier faculty of experienced members of the
plaintiff and defense bar will present an overview of the legal issues
and strategic considerations that inform the filing of a securities
class action and lead plaintiff selection process, the drafting of a
securities complaint and the briefing of a motion to dismiss. The panel
will address the fundamentals of a securities claim, existing precedent
and evolving theories, as seen from both sides of the bar. The panel
will also offer practical suggestions to increase each side’s chance of
success. The presentation will be particularly useful for litigators
who are beginning a securities litigation practice as well as seasoned
litigators returning to the practice who would like to refresh their
knowledge.
