Individual investors serve as lead plaintiff in the majority of settled securities class actions — yet many eligible investors do not know they can seek that role. To address that gap, Kirby McInerney LLP announces the launch of SecuritiesLeadPlaintiff.com, a free educational website explaining the lead plaintiff process and how individual investors can participate in it.
“The assumption is that securities class actions belong to the big institutions. The reality is that individual investors have led the majority of securities class actions resulting in settlements over the past decade,” said Thomas W. Elrod, a Kirby McInerney partner. “Investors who want to understand their options in that process now have a resource built specifically for them.”
The lead plaintiff oversees litigation on behalf of the class and has authority over key decisions, including counsel selection, litigation strategy, and settlement. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, investors have 60 days from the first published notice of a class action to seek appointment. SecuritiesLeadPlaintiff.com walks investors through those requirements, explains eligibility, and offers guidance on evaluating securities counsel.
The site is available at www.securitiesleadplaintiff.com. Investors may contact Kirby McInerney directly through the site.
