In the area of securities litigation and arbitration, McKenna Long & Aldridge has successfully defended cases arising from stock price collapse, defaulted bond issues, a variety of limited partnership syndications and a number of other investment and growth strategies.

We have significant experience in handling class action litigation. Despite the enactment of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act in 1995, public companies continue to be sued in these types of cases with increasing frequency. Our lawyers have ongoing experience in defending cases subject to the PSLRA and are knowledgeable in the various procedural requirements and available defenses provided for in this legislation.

In conjunction with securities lawyers in our corporate practice group, our litigators have represented corporations, their officers and directors and other law firms before the SEC and IRS, as well as other federal and state regulatory agencies. We have also represented court-appointed receivers in enforcement actions filed by the SEC, CFTC and FTC in cases involving issues such as fraudulent or unregistered offerings, money laundering and wire and mail fraud.

We have extensive experience in representing broker dealers and individual securities brokers in litigation, arbitration and regulatory matters.
