Osborn Maledon attorneys have extensive experience in all aspects of litigation involving private and publicly issued securities. We regularly defend clients in actions pending in federal and state courts, including shareholder class actions. Our group of securities lawyers is routinely chosen to defend publicly-traded corporations, their officers, directors, employees, accountants and attorneys in the major securities class actions filed in Arizona and elsewhere. Our practice also includes the defense of clients in arbitrations and other alternative dispute resolution forums. Our litigators also have a broad range of experience in regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings conducted by the federal and state authorities, including the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Arizona Corporation Commission, as well as all the major self-regulatory organizations including the NYSE and NASD. Through coordination with our Employment Law Attorneys, Osborn Maledon lawyers have also defended broker-dealers and other securities industry employers in employment disputes including charges of discrimination and harassment.

Although securities fraud suits and investigations often involve extensive coordination from multiple parties, our firm has employed the same small, focused team approach to these complex cases, achieving our clients' objectives successfully, efficiently and cost-effectively. In serving our clients, our securities defense practice is greatly enhanced by our ability to draw upon our seasoned transactional lawyers, as well as lawyers in our employment and criminal defense groups.
