Just discovered this 2017 analysis of biopharma shareholder lawsuits — really interesting! By ⁦@DWGreene.

Bottom line is that companies are usually well-protected against these sorts of suits. https://t.co/jaEKYDsqpw

#SCOTUS's Omnicare decision improves corporate disclosure by allowing executives to voice genuinely held opinions without fear of unfair liability. My article for @WLF on Omnicare's 5th anniversary: https://t.co/XMck7ORQ5S #riskmanagement #corpgov #pslra @BakerHostetler

Blue Apron will not eliminate concurrent state-court 1933 Act cases.... The only way ... to improve 1933 Act outcomes is to create a system that results in more effective and efficient litigation defense."

It was an honor to work with @WLF on its Omnicare #SCOTUS amicus brief. And, on Omnicare’s 5th anniversary, it is gratifying to review the improvement it has made in securities class action—and to know we in the defense bar can make even better use of it. #corpgov #riskmanagement

[Doug Greene (he/him) @DWGreene]

My new @DandODiscourse post: Blue Apron is not a silver bullet. Companies and their D&O insurers, brokers, and defense counsel need to work together to develop strategies to defend 1933 Act cases more effectively and efficiently. https://t.co/7UekYJDmAB #corpgov #riskmanagement

My new @DandODiscourse post: "The only way [to] achieve better outcomes in 1933 Act cases is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of securities class action defense. It is that simple. There are no shortcuts." https://t.co/7UekYJDmAB #CorpGov #riskmanagement #pslra

@nprscottsimon @CorePowerYoga On Demand is fantastic! Lots of great full classes, focus classes, and even meditation. https://t.co/rWVzqv8BLF.

Securities class action "litigation" is a misnomer; we don't actually litigate securities class actions anymore--to the tremendous detriment of public companies and their directors, officers, and D&O insurers and brokers. ICYMI. https://t.co/pySP0gfl2C #corpgov #riskmanagement

[D&O Discourse @DandODiscourse]

Friends, the securities class action defense system is broken, but it can be fixed — here’s how —>

[Doug Greene (he/him) @DWGreene]

Why do we rarely defend securities class actions past the motion to defense stage anymore? What can we do to fix this systemic problem? I answer these questions & more, ICYMI. https://t.co/pySP0gfl2C #corpgov #riskmanagement #pslra #ClassAction @DandODiscourse

[Doug Greene (he/him) @DWGreene]

Does the D&O insurance product give public company directors and officers the right protection in today's securities & governance litigation environment? I address this & more in my latest D&O Discourse post. https://t.co/9VkBlejufY #corpgov #riskmanagement #pslra
