debevoise.com debevoise.com S e c u r i t i e s L i t i g a t i o n Securities litigation has long been a major part of the firm's litigation practice. Many types of litigation involve securities claims, but three areas are particularly prominent: Class Actions and Derivative Suits We are a national leader in representing companies and boards of directors in class actions and derivative suits involving shareholders, debtholders and others. For example, the firm is currently representing a major life insurance company in a derivative litigation brought by the company's policyholders and another large insurance company in defending against class actions by policyholders and by investors in limited partnerships. We also represent the boards of directors of many major corporations in responding to demands from shareholders and derivative complaints. Our current work in this area includes major internal investigations in response to demands from shareholders or other developments for a major power company, a natural gas utility holding company, a telephone company and two of the world's largest mutual fund investment companies. Recently concluded cases include derivative actions in connection with a going private transaction, procurement issues for a major defense contractor and asbestos related disclosure. Mergers and Acquisitions Merger and acquisition litigation usually involves securities law questions. The firm regularly represents clients in this type of litigation relating both to takeovers and to post-closing actions arising out of alleged misrepresentations or inaccuracies in financial statements. Accountants' Liability The firm has extensive experience in securities litigation involving claims against major accounting firms. Such cases also typically include related common law contract and tort claims. For example, we have recently represented a U.S. firm in obtaining the dismissal of an action seeking billions of dollars of damages on behalf of a purported class of depositors throughout the world. We have also been representing a major accounting firm in litigation involving failed financial institutions.
