Securities, M&A & Corporate Governance Litigation

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.

Conor Reidy Discusses Oppositions to Indiana Hospital Merger with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy was quoted in a Law360 article discussing opposition from Indiana’s top law enforcement official to the merger between two hospitals. While the hospitals argue that the deal will prevent reductions in services, both state and federal regulators have cautioned that the merger would create a regional hospital monopoly, allowing cost hikes for patients and driving down staff wages in a mostly rural region already struggling to attract experienced doctors and nurses. In a letter to the state Department of Health, Indian Attorney General Todd Rokita said the hospital should be denied a Certificate of Public Advantage because the potential efficiencies of such a deal are outweighed by the potential downsides, including “unchecked” cost hikes.

What Is the Securities Exchange Act of 1934?
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) established the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and gave it the power to oversee the securities industry. Through the Exchange Act, the SEC gained the authority to register, regulate, and oversee brokerage firms, transfer agents, and clearing agencies. The Commission also has authority over the U.S. securities self-regulatory organizations (SROs), including: The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, Chicago Board of Options, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. SROs must have guidelines in place to make sure investors are protected.
