Securities litigation refers to legal action taken against individuals or entities involved in the buying, selling, or trading of securities, such as stocks, bonds, or derivatives. This type of litigation typically arises when investors believe they have suffered financial losses due to fraudulent or deceptive practices in the securities market.

Securities litigation can encompass a wide range of issues, including misrepresentation of financial statements, insider trading, market manipulation, failure to disclose material information, or violations of securities regulations. Plaintiffs in these cases can be individual investors, institutional investors, or even government regulatory bodies.

The goal of securities litigation is to hold those responsible for misconduct accountable and seek compensation for the affected investors.
