Derivatives


Overview

Wide Range of Derivative Claims Addressed

Resolving derivative claims demands a legal team that combines strategic foresight, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep understanding of both corporate governance and financial regulations. Goldfarb Gross Seligman excels in guiding clients through these intricate matters, offering representation for shareholders, directors, and companies facing derivative actions.
We handle a broad spectrum of claims, including breaches of fiduciary duty and duty of care, decisions not made in the company’s best interests, false or misleading reports, and failure to meet reporting obligations. Our well-established practice also addresses claims related to insider trading, discriminatory treatment of minority shareholders, and other corporate governance violations.

Multidisciplinary Legal Support

Our clients benefit from comprehensive, multidisciplinary services that integrate expertise in corporate litigation, class actions, corporate governance, and securities law. Supported by our commercial and legal savvy, our approach enables us to craft and deploy innovative legal strategies designed to address the specific needs of a given derivative proceeding.

Dedicated to Special Litigation Committees

Special Litigation Committees are tasked with determining whether it is in the company’s best interest to pursue claims alleging management or board wrongdoing. We have accumulated significant experience advising SLCs for major corporations and banks, especially in securities and finance related matters. As one of the first law firms in Israel to establish and advise such committees, we have been instrumental in many high-profile, precedential cases, tapping into our commercial and legal acumen, conflict resolution, analytical and communications skills to ensure that companies reach the conclusion most appropriate to their needs, while balancing legal risk and corporate responsibility.
