Securities Litigation

Since its inception over a decade ago, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has devoted a substantial portion of its practice to class action securities fraud litigation. In In re PurchasePro Inc.  Securities Litig., Master File No. CV-S-01-0483-JLQ (D. Nev. 2001), as co-lead counsel for the class, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP secured a $24.2 million settlement in a securities fraud litigation.  As noted by Senior Judge Justin L. Quackenbush in approving the settlement, “I feel that counsel for plaintiffs evidenced that they were and are skilled in the field of securities litigation.” Recently, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP was appointed sole lead counsel for the class in Anghel v. Ebix, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 1:11-cv-02400-RWS in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division.
