Securities fraud Litigation and Shareholder Derivative Suits

Drubner & Hartley, LLC also represents individual and institutional investors in connection with securities fraud suits brought on behalf of injured investors. The firm has been active in a number of class action securities cases and also consists of attorneys who have developed considerable expertise in this practice area prior to joining the firm.

The attorneys at Drubner & Hartley handle class action securities litigation from the initial determination that the class exists through trial and final judgment. An example of the firm’s success is the Colonial Realty Company case. In this action, attorneys at Drubner & Hartley litigated against Arthur Andersen and other defendants for nearly a decade to achieve a settlement of more than $120 million.

To the benefit of its clients, the firm’s lawyers also bring to this practice area their prior experience and expertise, having previously litigated successful class actions involving large recoveries from corporations in various industries.

The firm’s attorneys are also experienced in litigating shareholder derivative actions intended to protect the interests of shareholders against corporate malfeasance. The firm is presently involved in several such actions.

Derivative actions are brought by a shareholder on behalf of a company and may, when appropriate, charge corporate directors with breaching their fiduciary duties to the company, among other things. Through the use of such actions, clients can seek to hold such individuals accountable and may attempt to secure improvements in corporate governance structures such as those related to the oversight of a company and the accountability of its officers and directors.
