The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has just delivered a landmark decision that could significantly impact M&A disclosure litigation. This ruling allows for increased scrutiny of the mootness fee practice, which has previously been criticized for benefiting shareholders' lawyers more than the shareholders themselves. Here’s what you need to know about this ruling: ◼ It challenges the practice of settling M&A lawsuits by paying mootness fees. ◼ It emphasizes the need for judicial oversight to curb frivolous lawsuits, potentially reducing the 'deal tax' burden on companies. ◼ It could decrease the frequency and cost of disclosure-only litigation, affecting how deals are negotiated and finalized. This pivotal moment could mark the beginning of a new era in how M&A transactions are handled in court.

I believe these hires could signal a significant uptick in M&A activity as market confidence returns. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eR5kAGi2

It was great to be at the European Litigation Funding Conference hosted by Brown Rudnick LLP yesterday. The keynote speech by Camille Vasquez was a particular highlight, reiterating the role of litigation funding in ensuring that access to justice relates to the legal merit of a case and is not solely dependent on a Claimant’s financial means. It is exciting to be part of such a booming industry, working with global leaders in the market. #LitigationFunding #LitigationFinance #AccessToJustice
