From Boardroom to Courtroom: Episode 9: How Major Securities Fraud Cases Get Built

Jesse Jensen, Partner in Labaton Keller Sucharow’s Securities Litigation Practice, joins the show for a plaintiff-side look at how major securities fraud cases actually get built. Jesse walks through the Silicon Valley Bank collapse and the class action that followed, the EQT Corporation case, and the methodology his team uses to spot red flags, run an investigation, and integrate forensic accountants and damages experts into the case theory. We close with a look at current trends in securities class actions, drawing on Cornerstone Research’s latest data on filing volumes, emerging claim types, and the central role of institutional investors. Jesse has been part of teams that have recovered over $1 billion for investors and was named to Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers.
