In addition, shareholder derivative lawsuits allow shareholders to bring claims against corporate officers and directors who breach their fiduciary duties, resulting in harm to the company and its shareholders.

We believe that securities fraud and shareholder derivative lawsuits serve as an important check on corporate misconduct and are essential for maintaining the integrity of our financial markets.

Case Spotlight

In re Baldwin-United Corp. Sec. Litig., MDL-581 (S.D.N.Y.)

This was one of the very first multi-district securities class actions. Plaintiffs’ counsel advanced the novel issue of whether Single Premium Deferred Annuities sold by the stock brokerage industry were securities and the sale of approximately $4.2 billion were in violation of the federal and state securities laws. A $180 million settlement was obtained and was one of the largest securities class action settlements at the time. In awarding interim counsel fees, Judge Charles Brieant commented “…that plaintiffs’ attorneys [including Marvin A. Miller as co-lead counsel] had rendered extremely valuable services with diligence, energy and imagination, and are entitled to just compensation.”
