SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodruff Sawyer's 2023 Mid-Year Databox Report, tracking Securities Class Action (SCA) lawsuits, highlights an intriguing trend. Current economic conditions have dramatically slowed the pace of IPOs, SPAC IPOs, and de-SPAC activity—popular sources of litigation for the plaintiffs' bar. However, SCA filings have increased slightly in the first half of the year and settlements, clocking in at $2.1B (excluding Wells Fargo's recent $1B settlement) are the highest they have been in a decade.

Key Points: 
  • SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodruff Sawyer's 2023 Mid-Year Databox Report , tracking Securities Class Action (SCA) lawsuits, highlights an intriguing trend.
