Private Securities Litigation

Private securities litigation refers to lawsuits filed by investors against companies or individuals for violations of securities laws, such as fraud or misleading statements related to stock or bond offerings. This legal process is initiated by private parties, rather than government regulators, and aims to seek damages for financial losses incurred due to these violations. It often involves claims under laws like the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This type of litigation helps hold companies accountable and seeks to protect investor rights within the securities market.
