The FT Adviser recently featured an insightful article by Partners Jamie Hanley and Carol Villegas, along with Associate Jacqueline Meyers, titled "How can UK pension funds hold U.S. companies to account?" The article sheds light on the powerful role UK pension funds play in engaging with U.S. companies they invest in to drive shareholder value and accountability. It explores how tools like Section 220 books and records demands, shareholder derivative lawsuits, and securities class actions can bring about meaningful change within U.S. companies. As UK institutional investors continue to invest heavily in U.S. companies, understanding these key mechanisms is becoming more crucial than ever. https://lnkd.in/earSyWhJ #LGPS #pensions #shareholderrights #corporategovernance #securities #litigation

In our latest Investor Alert, Partners Michael Canty and Lauren Ormsbee, along with Associate Matthew Grier, analyze the Supreme Court's December 11, 2024, decision to dismiss Nvidia's writ of certiorari as "improvidently granted"—a significant victory for investors. In issuing the one-sentence order, the Court refused to adopt the defendants’ call to impose a bright-line rule requiring plaintiffs to plead the exact contents of internal reports and data at the pleading stage—before discovery—while limiting the use of expert analysis. “Due to the Court’s ruling, investors’ ability to police securities fraud and recover losses on behalf of themselves and class members remains intact,” the Alert states. https://lnkd.in/gcq7w4qf #Nvidia #SCOTUS #securities #litigation
