FAQs on Securities Class Actions

What is a securities class action?

A securities class action is a lawsuit brought on behalf of a group of investors who have allegedly been harmed by corporate misconduct, such as fraud or misrepresentation that affects stock prices.

How can investors join a class action?

Investors can usually join a class action by being part of the affected group, as defined by the court. They often do not need to do anything to remain part of the class unless they wish to opt-out or seek a lead plaintiff role.

What does it mean to be a lead plaintiff?

A lead plaintiff acts as a representative for other class members, directing the litigation and helping their attorneys make decisions on behalf of the entire class. Choosing to be a lead plaintiff typically entails more involvement in the case.

Is there a cost to joining a class action?

Typically, there are no upfront costs to joining a class action. Lawyers working on a contingency fee basis get paid out of any settlement or judgment awarded to the class.
