Securities litigation reform

Securities litigation reform refers to changes in laws and regulations aimed at making legal cases related to securities—like stocks and bonds—more efficient and fair. These reforms often seek to prevent abuse of the legal system, reduce frivolous lawsuits, and encourage investment by balancing the rights of investors and companies. They may include stricter evidence standards, limits on damages, or procedural adjustments to streamline lawsuits. Overall, the goal is to maintain investor confidence while avoiding excessive legal burdens that could hinder market growth or impose unnecessary costs.
