Live Date: Monday, July 20, 2020 from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm (ET)
Recording Available: Tuesday, July 21, 2020

Commercial/Consumer Law (CLE), Securities Law (CLE), Live Webcast

Overview:

Halliburton II continues to impact class certification in securities class action litigation years after the ruling’s release. However, because the Supreme Court did not address several issues on fraud-on-the-market presumption, trial courts grapple when faced with similar cases. Furthermore, significant court rulings continue to emerge that seek to interpret the Halliburton II decision.

As this area of law continues to shift, practitioners must keep themselves in the know of emerging developments. They must adopt robust litigation techniques to successfully win a securities lawsuit.

Join securities lawyers Yingzhen Li (The Brattle Group) and Martin Seidel (Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP) as they discuss recent developments and critical issues in Halliburton II and the fraud-on-the-market doctrine. Speakers will analyze critical issues and share the best litigation techniques in a rapidly evolving legal climate.
