Litigation

Our attorneys are equipped with a deep understanding of complex financial products, credit agreements, and the capital markets. Utilizing this expertise, Lucosky Brookman represents companies, funds and individuals in litigation arising from activist investment strategies, distressed investment scenarios, including insolvency and restructuring, inadequate disclosures, alleged securities laws violations, market manipulation, and other complex financial disputes.

The Firm has particular expertise in defending mid-sized and small companies against shareholder-initiated complaints in which investors request additional equity to compensate for capital losses experienced by the investor due to a market downturn.

We litigate Securities Act and Exchange Act claims, fraud and non-disclosure cases under federal and blue-sky laws, corporate governance litigation, and insider trading disputes. We represent companies, directors, officers, banks, accountants, institutional investors, financial advisors and broker-dealers in federal and state courts throughout the country. The Firm represents issuers and boards of directors, as well as individuals, in administrative enforcement hearings, trials and appeals. We are retained to represent individuals in enforcement actions in industries ranging from health care and entertainment to pharmaceuticals and technology.
