International Class and Collective/Group Actions:

CACM provides global coverage of securities class actions. Outside the U.S., we monitor class actions in Australia, Europe, South America, North America and Asia. Since the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Morrison v. National Australia Bank, Ltd., limited the applicability of the U.S. securities laws to transactions occurring in or connected o the U.S., many non U.S. jurisdictions have adopted laws and procedures to permit aggrieved investors to pursue claims for securities fraud. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the number of non U.S. actions for securities fraud. These non U.S. actions are significantly different from U.S. class actions. CACM helps its clients to navigate the field of non U.S. class actions and group/collective actions.

There are currently more than 100 actions pending in over 13 countries.

For International Class, Collective and Group Actions, CACM provides the following services:

CACM gathers the clients trading data and prepares it for submission for the non U.S. action.

CACM coordinates with non U.S. legal counsel, litigation funders and investor foundations in the various jurisdictions.
