We are thrilled to announce that three Alto Litigation attorneys contributed a chapter on trends in California litigation for Chambers and Partners’ prestigious 2024 Litigation Global Practice Guide. The contributing attorneys, whose insights on trends in California securities litigation are featured, are Bahram Seyedin-Noor, Bryan Ketroser, and Jared Kopel.

The 2024 Litigation Global Practice Guide features 70 jurisdictions. It provides the latest legal information on litigation trends, funding, initiating a lawsuit, pre-trial proceedings, discovery, injunctive relief, trials and hearings, settlement, damages and judgment, appeals, costs, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including arbitration.

The topics that Bahram, Bryan, and Jared address and analyze include:

1. California courts adopt Delaware’s Caremark standard of liability for directors asleep at the wheel

2. Bank failures and down rounds precipitate shareholder actions

3. Plaintiffs include state securities fraud claims in federal complaints

4. California continues to be a hotbed of litigation concerning cybersecurity breaches

5. New climate disclosure laws may lead to new disclosure claims

6. The SEC continues to go after California crypto-companies

As they say, knowledge is power, so if you’re looking to stay abreast of trends and developments in California securities litigation, we encourage you to read this chapter, which can be found here. Many of the insights shared are based on real-world experience and expertise gained by our attorneys working at the forefront of important securities litigation cases in California.
