We have litigated cases that have helped to establish the law on such issues as the requirement of shareholder demand in derivative litigation, the application of the business judgment rule to preclude shareholder derivative actions, the definition of a security and the constitutionality of anti-takeover devices in hostile battles for corporate control. Our practice includes individuals from a wide diversity of backgrounds, including former prosecutors and attorneys for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
