  • SECURITIES CLASS ACTION FILINGS
    2023 Year in Review

    Securities Class Action Filing Activity Increased Slightly in 2023, Reversing Recent Years’ Declines
    The report found that plaintiffs filed 215 securities class action lawsuits in federal and state courts in 2023, up slightly from 208 filings in 2022. The number of “core” filings—those excluding M&A filings—also increased slightly from the previous year. However, despite a small uptick in overall filing volume, the number of state 1933 Act filings and combined federal Section 11 and state 1933 Act filings fell in 2023. The number of filings in the three most common trend categories—SPAC, COVID-19, and cryptocurrency—also all fell in 2023.
