Securities, M&A & Corporate Governance Litigation
In today’s market, litigators with experience in securities, corporate governance, and M&A-related (collectively, “securities litigation”) matters need to leverage their broad experience to serve as both advocate and as counsel and strategist, focused on helping clients to overcome not just a legal issue but a collective business problem. Given the frequent interplay between things such as corporate-control transactions, public offerings, activist shareholders, the use of complex derivatives and other financial instruments, bad news impacting stock performance, regulatory inquiries and investigations, and insurance coverage, strategic and tactical litigation decisions can have a wide-ranging impact on the success of a given transaction, as well as on companies, their boards, senior management, and advisors.

Oregon Enacts SB 951, Restricting PE-Backed MSOs in Physician Practice Transactions
On June 9, 2025, Oregon enacted Senate Bill 951 (SB 951), a sweeping new law significantly limiting how management services organizations (MSOs)—including those backed by private-equity firms—may engage with physician practices. The legislation targets traditional “friendly provider” models by restricting ownership and operational control of professional medical entities and voiding restrictive covenants. Investors must now reassess Oregon-based physician practice investments to ensure compliance by 2026 (for new MSOs) and 2029 (for existing ones). It’s noteworthy that this law will coexist with Oregon’s complicated health care transactions notice law, a law that requires a thorough review of certain health care transactions.
