The global environment for securities class actions is evolving, presenting new recovery opportunities and challenges. The June 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Morrison v. National Australia Bank effectively prohibited investors from filing law suits within the United States concerning securities purchased on a foreign exchange, thus requiring more attention be devoted to litigation in international jurisdictions.
Join ISS and leading international practitioners in securities class actions as we discuss trends in global securities litigation, address nuances to be aware of when opting in to participate abroad and share how you and your clients can benefit from the technology, experience and expertise that ISS Securities Class Action Services delivers to maximize client recoveries.
