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.

The Close of the PISCES Consultation Period – An Opportunity for Private Market Growth
On 6 March 2024, HM Treasury published a consultation paper (the Consultation Paper) on the proposed creation of the Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES), a new trading platform that will offer private companies the ability to trade their securities intermittently. The aim of PISCES is to facilitate growth in the private market and to allow private companies an easier transition to public markets, as they will gain exposure to a wider breadth of investors within a bespoke regulatory environment that draws on existing public market regulations. PISCES will operate within a financial market infrastructure (FMI) sandbox, allowing the system and accompanying regulations to be trialled in a controlled setting for a proposed period of five years before the scheme is made permanent.
