What Is a Securities Class Action?
A securities class action is a lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who purchased or sold a company's stock during a period when the company or its officers were allegedly making materially false or misleading statements. Rather than litigating individually, investors pool their claims into a single proceeding — making it practical to pursue accountability that no single investor could afford alone.
Claims typically arise under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, which prohibit fraudulent conduct in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. Claims may also arise under Section 11 of the Securities Act in connection with public offerings.
BG&G has spent more than 30 years representing defrauded investors across hundreds of class actions in federal courts nationwide.
Securities class actions level the playing field — allowing individual investors to pursue claims that would otherwise be economically impossible to bring on their own.
