What Is Securities Litigation?

Securities litigation is one of the most specialized areas of practice in investment fraud law. Securities laws are complex. These cases often involve high stakes for clients and sensitive financial information. California securities litigation may be necessary if an investor loses a substantial amount of money in an investment fraud scenario. Securities fraud can occur when a stockbroker or another party offers misinformation about the value of a stock, resulting in investors losing money on the transaction.

• Failing to accurately report a company’s financial information to shareholders
• Falsely increasing the value of a company’s stocks
• Engaging in insider trading at a company
• A third party misrepresenting company or industry stock market information
• Stealing an investor’s money outright (i.e. embezzlement)

Any type of misconduct, or unethical or illegal action, on the trading floor of a stock exchange could fulfill the definition of securities fraud. If securities fraud cost you money as an investor, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against the responsible entity. It is common in these scenarios to have other investors who also lost money because of the same fraud scheme. If so, you may be able to join a class action in California instead.
