LITIGATION

The annual probability of facing a securities class action lawsuit has increased 40 percent since 1995. That's according to Dr. Vinita Juneja, a SVP at NERA Economic Consulting, who recently completed a quantitative analysis of SOX's impact on the volume and nature of class action litigation.

According to Juneja, dismissals have also slowed since Sarbanes-Oxley, although those dismissals vary widely by circuit.

A presentation on the topic from Juneja, as well as other presentations from the 16th Annual Professional Liability Underwriting Society conference, is available below:
