Securities Litigation and Shareholders’ Rights Dispute

The attorneys at Gordinier Kang & Kim LLP have extensive experience representing the rights of companies and its shareholders.  Many businesses are closely held private corporations with a relatively small number of shareholders.  Others are public companies with thousands of shareholders with periodic and rigorous reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Regardless of the size and type of corporation, disputes and claims may arise from the distribution and sale of securities, or the accuracy of disclosures contained in the company’s SEC filings or financial statements, or where securities regulatory agencies or shareholders challenge the conduct of the officers and directors of a corporation.
