Jonathan C. Dickey, partner and Co-Chair of the National Securities Litigation Practice Group at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, has published his mid-year review of securities class action lawsuits on Harvard's corporate governance and Financial Regulation blog.. Twice a year Dickey surveys the class action lawsuit landscape looking for filing and settlement trends. Thus far in 2013, his review is a mixed bag of good and not so good news for financial firms, as it reflects "business as usual" for plaintiffs' lawyers.
