Director & Officer (“D&O”) litigation frequently involves class action allegations and/or alleged violations of federal and state unfair trade practice laws, including alleged violations of both federal and Alabama securities laws. Christian & Small attorneys bring an in-depth understanding of corporate law and the dynamics of officer, director and shareholder litigation. We handle these types of matters as they arise in the context of disputes, relating to mergers and acquisitions, corporate ownership or transfer, executive compensation, antitrust, securities issues, business interference, trade practices, bankruptcy, whistleblowers actions, corporate espionage, internal fraud, and regulatory investigations. We also defend companies and their leadership in shareholder oppression and squeeze-out claims.
Christian & Small’s experience in defending companies and their officers and directors ranges from small family-held businesses to publicly-traded companies, and includes non-profit organizations, private companies and public companies in a broad range of industries – including technology, health care, financial services, retail, accounting, and manufacturing. We represent individuals, corporations, majority shareholders, management teams, boards of directors, and special committees.
No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
