The Association of the Bar of the City of New York hosted a securities CLE program on 6 December 2011.

NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Marcia Kramer Mayer participated in a session entitled "Securities Class Actions: Trends, Developments, and Hot-Button Issues," where she focused on merger objection litigation. The topics Dr. Mayer addressed included: how merger objection cases differ from standard securities class actions; recent trends in the number of litigated deals in both state and Federal courts; the distribution of litigated deals from announcement to first filing; the factors associated with whether a deal gets litigated; patterns and trends in the size and composition of settlements; and the top 10 settlements.
