Securities Litigation

Case Evaluation Form

Similar to mass tort cases, the practice of securities litigation can be extremely complex and requires an extraordinary amount of financial and staff support. In one case alone, Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Echsner & Proctor, P.A. devoted six business lawyers, fifteen staff members, one computer specialist, and more than $2 million in out-of-pocket costs to try a single case. The result was a $40 million jury verdict and the settlement of six similar cases. (Visit our Verdicts and Settlements page for more of our past successes in commercial disputes.)

We have extensive experience in a wide range of business torts, including matters of:

• Bear Stearns Common Stock
• Bear Stearns Hedge Funds
• First Trust Strategic High Income Funds
• Regions Morgan Keegan Funds
• Auction Rate Securities
• MAT Hedge Funds
• Stock Broker Negligence
• Fraud / RICO
• Discrimination
• Breach of Contract
• Lender Liability Claims
• Professional malpractice claims, and more.

Our Florida securities litigation attorneys not only specialize in corporate law, they also understand the practicalities of business. One of our attorneys has been honored by a listing in Who’s Who in Finance and Industry for his current work as chairman of a regional television station and as a former chairman of Orange State Life Insurance Company, Western Travelers Life Insurance Company, and David Fredric's, Inc., a regional apparel chain comprised of more than fifty stores.

In our experience, many business lawyers are hesitant to go to trial. Too many run up large bills with discovery and numerous pre-trial motions, only to settle too early rather than risk going to court. Our firm, however, is never afraid to go to court, having gained over $1 billion in jury verdicts. Of course, our business lawyers can also work toward a settlement if doing so is in the client’s best interests. In negotiation, we are armed with the special leverage that our trial reputation affords.
