American Conference Institute’s Advanced Forum on

Securities Litigation

Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13, 2009
The Carlton on Madison Avenue, New York, New York

Be a part of the essential defense forum that will shape the future of securities litigation strategies for leading litigators and in-house counsel

The subprime crisis and ensuing financial meltdown have led to a drastic spike in the number of securities class actions being filed. Investment banks, broker-dealers, issuers, and others involved with subprime-related securities can expect to be hit with numerous lawsuits in the coming months as investors seek to recover their losses. Add to this the complexity of the financial instruments at the heart of many of these suits, including CDOs and other structured products, and the picture is clear: corporate and outside counsel must be prepared to face an unprecedented wave of securities litigation in 2009 and beyond. Those who do not master the intricacies of subprime-related securities and the innovative defense strategies that are beginning to emerge in the wake of the subprime crisis risk economic ruin.

In response to these challenging times for defense counsel, ACI is proud to bring you our Advanced Forum on Securities Litigation. Our speakers, including distinguished in-house counsel as well as leading outside defense counsel, jurists, and securities regulatory and enforcement officials, will provide even the most seasoned attorneys with the critical insights, expert knowledge, and practical strategies needed to:

  • COUNTER investor claims of inadequate disclosure and unsuitability involving subprime-related securities
  • DEFEAT certification in a securities class action involving foreign investors
  • REDUCE the likelihood of future securities litigation through the implementation of new risk management and compliance procedures
  • DEFEND AGAINST a claim of fraud resulting from the subprime crisis
