SECURITIES LAW
Skelton & Woody handles all
types of securities litigation,
including class action suits
filed on behalf of shareholders,
claims by investors against
broker/dealers, and N.A.S.D.
arbitrations. We have
represented the corporate issuer
of securities, the officers and
directors, and on one occasion
an insurer which was also named
a defendant in a securities
fraud suit against its insured.
While the vast majority of our
work in this area in the past has been on
the defense side, we now
represent plaintiffs on a
selective basis when we believe
the facts justify our
involvement.
Our philosophy for handling
securities fraud cases, whether
for defendants or plaintiffs, is
to focus on legal challenges to
our opponents' legal theories.
We have had much success on
motions to dismiss and motions
for summary judgment that either
conclude the case, or
significantly narrow the issues
so that a favorable settlement
is more possible. We also have
expertise in assisting
defendants in securing insurance
coverage for securities fraud
suits, whether under director
and official liability policies
or coverage purchased by the
corporate defendant.
