Our team represents shareholders in a range of securities and shareholder rights cases, including:

Shareholder disputes can arise over control, profit distribution, dilution, or access to company information—especially in closely held corporations. These conflicts can disrupt governance, delay decisions, and threaten long-term value. Our securities lawyers represent majority and minority shareholders in enforcing their rights and resolving disputes through negotiation, litigation, or corporate restructuring.

Shareholder rights include access to company records, voting power, dividend entitlements, and protection against unfair treatment or dilution. When these rights are ignored or violated, it can lead to serious legal and financial consequences. Our securities lawyers help shareholders assert their rights and hold companies accountable to ensure fair and lawful corporate governance.

Securities litigation involves disputes over misrepresentation, fraud, insider trading, or violations of federal and state securities laws. These cases often arise from investment losses, shareholder actions, or regulatory investigations. Our securities lawyers represent businesses, officers, and investors in high-stakes securities litigation, working to protect reputations, recover losses, and ensure compliance with complex legal standards.

Texas Blue Sky Laws regulate the offer and sale of securities within the state, requiring proper registration and disclosures to protect investors from fraud. Violations can lead to enforcement actions, civil liability, and reputational harm. Our securities lawyers help businesses navigate Texas Blue Sky compliance and defend against claims involving improper securities offerings or disclosures.

SEC compliance isn’t just for public companies—private businesses raising capital through securities offerings must also follow federal regulations, including disclosure obligations and antifraud rules. Noncompliance can lead to enforcement actions, investor lawsuits, and future restrictions on fundraising. Our securities lawyers help private companies navigate SEC requirements, structure compliant offerings, and reduce legal risk in capital-raising efforts.
