Securities fraud—also referred to as investment or stock fraud—involves the use of false or misleading information that affects an investor’s decision to buy, sell, or hold securities (e.g. stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options). Misstatements or omissions can artificially inflate a stock price or delay a price decline. When corrective information becomes public, the stock may drop sharply, resulting in losses for investors who relied on inaccurate or incomplete disclosures.
Securities fraud may involve corporate officers and directors, the company itself, or—depending on the circumstances—underwriters, auditors, or other professionals who contributed to or failed to correct misleading information provided to the market.
For more than 60 years, Wolf Popper has handled significant securities fraud matters across the United States. Courts have repeatedly recognized the firm’s experience by appointing Wolf Popper as Lead or Co-Lead Counsel in federal securities class actions, as well as in multi-district and consolidated litigations involving complex financial, accounting, and regulatory issues.

Wolf Popper’s securities class action lawyers work with financial experts, economists, and industry specialists to analyze losses and assess litigation strategies.
