The ongoing fallout of the world financial crisis will result in complicated and aggressive securities litigation. To examine the best approaches to advancing or defending securities litigation cases, IQPC held a securities conference in New York City on 10-11 June 2009. On the first day, NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Faten Sabry delivered a presentation entitled "The Greatest Challenge of All: How to Calculate the Losses in the Current Securities Litigation." She examined a number of timely issues, including how damages will be assessed; the challenges of the credit crisis to aspects of standard damages analysis; the implications for pricing of derivatives; and the difficulties in determining appropriate valuations in the courtroom. On the second day, Senior Vice President Dr. Vinita Juneja served as co-chair and delivered opening remarks.
