The trend is largely due to the growth in litigation funding and an increased willingness to use it, especially among institutional shareholders. Boutique litigation firms are emerging to specialise in claimant work, making class actions a major part of their business model. Our global class actions series provides insights from leaders in the field across key jurisdictions, helping you navigate this complex terrain.

Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP litigation partner Adrienne Ward and Shareholder Activism Practice Vice Chair Elizabeth Gonzalez-Sussman provide insights in their latest article published in the New York Law Journal, "Splitting Brains: Shareholder Use (and Misuse) of Confidential Board Information." Their analysis sheds light on navigating complex legal scenarios regarding confidential information used by institutional shareholders. "Must directors isolate such board information from the shareholder that caused their board appointment, or is inevitable, because directors are humans who cannot partition their brains, that the shareholder will become privy to the information," they write. "The opposite results reached in these two cases present useful guidance to institutional investors that gain board seats through shareholder activism or private investment." #OlshanLaw #LegalInsights #ShareholderActivism #ConfidentialInformation #InstitutionalInvestors #ShareholderRights #LegalAnalysis #NewYorkLawJournal https://lnkd.in/ebUnKDTS

I had a great experience last week hosting a session alongside Huw Jones at the Institutional Investor conference in Washington DC. We shared key insights from the Legal Forum's Benchmark Survey, exploring legal team structures, staffing strategies, and the evolving costs of outside counsel. It was a great opportunity for General Counsel and Heads of Compliance to connect, exchange ideas, and dive into the latest legal, regulatory, and business trends shaping the industry. Looking forward to continuing these important discussions - whitepaper to be published soon! Thanks to Jeffrey Plunkett and Rachael Holland for facilitating. #investmentmanagement #InstitutionalInvestor #legalandcompliance

🗣 Going public | The latest edition of Global Legal Insights - Initial Public Offerings is now available and free to read online. "An initial public offering is a key way for companies to raise capital in the global capital markets and list their shares for public trading. Although IPOs are conceptually similar whether made to investors in New York, London or Hong Kong, or in other long-established or newer markets around the world, the regulatory frameworks, market practices, investor communities and subsequent public-company obligations are far from homogenous across jurisdictions." Curated in association with Ilir Mujalovic and Harald Halbhuber of A&O Shearman, the 2024 edition covers key legal and regulatory issues concerning IPOs across 16 jurisdictions, with a further two expert analysis chapters. Thank you to all contributing firms: A&O Shearman | SIFMA | Wakefield Quin Limited | Pinheiro Neto Advogados | Haiwen & Partners | Elias Neocleous & Co LLC | Oppenhoff | Sardelas Petsa Law Firm | Moore Legal Kovács | Dhir & Dhir Associates | UMBRA - Strategic Legal Solutions | BSVA - Studio Legale Associato | Barun Law LLC | Loyens & Loeff | Morais Leitão | Opal Lawyers | Bär & Karrer 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eXVdVjxH #InitialPublicOffering #IPO
