Michelman & Robinson provides its clients with experienced defense of securities lawsuits, and specifically shareholder and derivative lawsuits. Our securities litigators have exceptional skills with extensive securities enforcement experience and knowledge. M&R often defends not only the targeted company but the directors and senior executives named as defendants. Because of the potential for huge damage awards, M&R is cognizant of the impact on investors, lenders, and other companies. M&R does not litigate in the dark but is keenly aware of all of the moving parts.

M&R defends companies and their directors and officers in a wide variety of arenas such as shareholder class actions, shareholder derivative actions, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and accounting cases, mergers and acquisitions litigation, and representation of special committees of the board of directors.

M&R has successfully defended scores of companies in this area of law. Often M&R attorneys combine forces and our litigators and corporate transactional attorneys devise the appropriate defense scheme for each particular case.

M&R has significant experience in internal investigations, prompted either by shareholder demands or at a board's own request, and serving as special counsel to formally constituted "special committees" of directors performing such investigations.
