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.

Brett Johnson Discusses Federal Circuit’s PTAB Review Decisions with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Brett Johnson was quoted in a Law360 article examining the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s recent decisions declining to review the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office director’s discretionary denials of inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR) petitions. Companies have filed constitutional arguments at the Federal Circuit challenging the high and evolving threshold for having an inter partes or post-grant review instituted, which has led to an unprecedented level of denied petitions. The companies had hoped to fit into a narrow exception to the America Invents Act that allows appeals for unconstitutional “shenanigans,” but the Federal Circuit has rejected all of the mandamus petitions since November.

“Baby HSR” or “mini HSR” laws refer to state-level premerger notification and reporting requirements that resemble the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act but tend to apply to smaller transactions valued below the federal notification thresholds. These laws, often focused on specific industries like healthcare, aim to enhance state-level antitrust oversight by requiring companies to notify state authorities of mergers or acquisitions that could impact local competition. Filing obligations, timing, and fees vary by state, with some requiring detailed disclosures about the transaction’s competitive impact within the state. State authorities can investigate, challenge, or impose conditions on transactions even if they are cleared federally. Winston’s Baby HSR survey provides buyers and sellers with a resource to quickly start assessing which states may have premerger notification requirements that impact their transactions.
