Weil, Gotshal & Manges' Releases "Survey of 2007 Securities Fraud Litigation"

http://slw.riskmetrics.com/2008/08/weil_gotshal_manges_releases_s.html

Hot off the presses is The 10b-5 Guide: A Survey of 2007 Securities Fraud Litigation from Weil, Gotshal & Manges.

Just as 2007 saw a substantial increase in the number of new federal securities class actions, the 2007 Weil guide needs more room (253 pages) to discuss all that is brewing in the wide world of securities class actions.

The guide is quite wide-ranging, discussing everything from pleading standards, loss causation and class certification to developments in the lead plaintiff appointment process and that ever popular cocktail party conversation topic, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998, or SLUSA to the cognoscenti.

The guide, just as with the 2006 version, breaks down these the information by both topic and circuit.

Thanks again to co-author Paul Ferrillo for sending us a copy, which you can download here.
