Law360 | Securities Litigation to Watch in 2020

Alston & Bird has formed a working group to advise clients on the business and legal implications of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Thanks to the SEC’s heightened focus on whistleblower rules, the plaintiffs’ bar is taking aim at employers that might be violating Rule 21F-17. A cross-practice team from our Securities Litigation, Labor & Employment, and Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Groups investigates how employers can keep a sharp eye on their confidentiality agreements and avoid being blindsided by shareholders’ counsel.

Alston & Bird has announced the election of 20 lawyers to its partnership, effective January 1.
