Our securities litigators represent issuers, underwriters, trustees and brokerage firms, brokers and dealers and other entities in suits based on federal and state securities laws. Frequently, this involves not only jury trials, but also arbitration for claims alleging fraudulent sale of securities and questions regarding suitability of investments. Burr & Forman also defends firms in governmental enforcement actions. We represent brokerage firms in claims alleging violations of trade secrets and violations of non-compete covenants by former employees. In addition, we defend banks and trust departments in connection with the purchase of securities, class actions and derivative actions.
