Mergers and acquisitions class action lawsuits have seen incredible growth in recent years. There were nearly 350 M&A lawsuits filed in 2010, an 847% increase from 2008. Already through mid-July of this year, there have been close to 200 M&A cases filed. For most M&A lawsuits, the class of investors and shareholders argue that they received unfair compensation due to a buyout deal. Merger, acquisition, M&A

Law firms have been quick to capitalize on the upward trend. Companies seeking buyouts are eager to complete the transaction and are willing to settle an M&A suit with little fight. This eagerness is often what exposes organizations to a class action in the first place, as many times the companies react to an initial offer without seeking additional bids.

With huge incentive for law firms to pursue M&A class action cases, there is little doubt that the steady increase of such cases will continue. It is important for institutional investors to have the resources to respond to the growing number of securities class action cases.
