NASD-NYSE Merger - Proxy Solicitations

Standard Investment Chartered, Inc. v. National Associate of Securities Dealers, No. 07 Civ. 2014 (SWK) (U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York)

We are currently representing a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in a class action suit challenging certain aspects of the proposed consolidation of the NASD's and New York Stock Exchange's regulatory functions.

Drawing on various state corporate and common law theories, the complaint alleges that the defendants obtained the NASD members' vote in support of the consolidation through an unlawful proxy statement. At issue, among other things, is the treatment of approximately $1.5 billion of NASD members' equity. On May 1, 2009, the district court dismissed the case on the grounds that the NASD is immune from suit, and this decision is now on appeal.

Pleading Standard Under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd, 06-484 (U.S. Supreme Court)

The firm filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of Public Citizen and the Center for Study of Responsive Law (a Ralph Nader organization) addressing the heightened pleading standard under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA). We urged the Court to interpret that standard to ensure that the PSLRA's pleading standard comports with the burden of proof and to guarantee the Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury.
