How to Cope with the M&A Litigation Explosion
webcast
14 June 2012
Hosted By: DealLawyers.com
Dr. Marcia Kramer Mayer, Senior Vice President and Chair of NERA's Global Securities and Finance Practice, was invited to share her findings on the recent explosion of M&A shareholder litigation in a webcast, held on 14 June 2012. The other presenters were Doug Clark, Co-Managing Partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, LLP, and David Katz, Partner at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz. The webcast addressed a number of issues, including the frequency of merger objection class actions, the types of deals most likely to be litigated, the relationship between outcome and venue, and other recent trends; the deal terms that are most affected by deal litigation today; the impact deal litigation is having on deal structures; what boards can do to protect themselves from potential liability in a lawsuit; and the primary causes of deal litigation, including how the collapse of Milberg Weiss splintered the plaintiffs' bar and made it much more undisciplined in its approach to transactional litigation.
