In addition to derivative litigation, Ms. Collier represents investors in complex securities class actions involving allegations of securities fraud, false or misleading disclosures, and violations of federal securities laws. These cases often arise when companies misrepresent financial performance, fail to disclose material risks, or engage in accounting irregularities that artificially inflate stock prices.
