Practice Area
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.

UK Crypto Regulation Moves Forward: Lending, Staking & DeFi - Key Takeaways from FCA CP25/40
The close of 2025 highlighted the continuing momentum for the digital asset industry, with regulatory developments accelerating rather than slowing. In December, the UK Government and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released a series of draft instruments and consultation papers that are poised to play a significant role in shaping the sector’s future. On 15 December 2025, HM Treasury (HMT) published a revised draft of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Cryptoassets) Order 2025. This was followed on 16 December 2025 by the FCA’s publication of three consultation papers addressing core elements of the forthcoming cryptoasset regulatory framework: (1) CP25/40 Regulating Cryptoasset Activities, (2) CP25/41 Regulating Cryptoassets: Admissions & Disclosures and Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets, and (3) CP25/42 A Prudential Regime for Cryptoasset Firms. Momentum continued into the new year. On 8 January 2026, the FCA provided further detail on its proposed “gateway” the application process through which firms will seek authorisation to carry on newly regulated cryptoasset activities under the UK’s forthcoming regime.

In the product liability context, a failure to warn claim arises when a plaintiff alleges that a product lacked an adequate warning regarding potential risks associated with its use. To succeed in a failure to warn claim, a plaintiff typically needs to demonstrate that the lack of a warning regarding a particular potential harm rendered the product unreasonably dangerous, and that adequate warnings would have ultimately prevented the alleged harm.

Law Glossary
Consumer privacy law is the legal area covering violations of personal information and the right to privacy in everyday life, including violations relating to technology use and finances. Consumer privacy laws and regulations protect individuals from privacy loss due to the failures and limitations of corporate customer privacy measures. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the primary agency directing federal privacy policies and enforcing associated regulations. The FTC utilizes law enforcement, creates policy, and educates consumers as it acts to protect privacy. Legal action can be taken against organizations that violate consumer privacy rights, especially regarding sensitive information.
