Global Securities Class Action Landscape: 2022 Year in Review & 2023 Outlook & Trends

 

The global recovery landscape continues to rapidly evolve. Last year, filings were down worldwide due in part to the pandemic, but recoveries were up. As we look to 2023, what trends will continue to impact the securities litigation space and what's next that investors should be aware of? 

Watch our on-demand webinar to hear Mike Lange, Esq., VP of Worldwide Litigation; Emily Fortin, Director of Legal Operations and Counsel; and Colin Holmes, Esq., Associate Counsel, look back on 2022 and preview trends investors should be aware of in 2023:

  • US Settled Securities: In 2022, US securities class action filings were flat compared to the previous year, while settlements slightly increased.  We look closer at the top 10 settlements, disbursements, and SEC Fair Funds challenges. 
  • US Settled Antitrust: Last year, over $700m was distributed back to investors. There's another $4B still be to distributed in 2023 and beyond. While the antitrust litigation pipeline is smaller, there are still significant opportunities. 
  • Non-US Litigation: 2022 saw more than 50 non-US opportunities for investors across 11 countries. Hear FRT's outlook for jurisdictions including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, and the UK.
