Partners Mark Brookes and Greg Stirling recently presented on “Securities Class Actions in Australia”.
The presentation covered:
- The anatomy of a securities class action, who pays for these actions, how they are financed and the role of D&O insurance, including who is covered and for which types of claims.
- Key legal and procedural issues, including continuous disclosure, misleading or deceptive conduct and how causation is assessed.
- Current observable trends and statistics.
- Broader D&O issues including directors’ duties and managing conflicts.
