FBC has one of the leading securities litigation practices in Israel.  We have successfully represented officers, directors, companies and financial institutions in securities litigation, including class actions, derivative suits and other shareholder actions.  We also have considerable experience in litigation covering a wide range of fiduciary duty and corporate governance issues.

Securities litigation often calls into play the interests of a broad variety of stakeholders - shareholders, directors, officers, customers, and professional advisors.  Working closely with specialists in our corporate practice area and where necessary with outside non-legal consultants, we are able to guide clients on the full range of legal issues that securities litigation often entails, from substantive questions of corporate law, to tactical issues of litigation strategy, to sophisticated economic and accounting analysis.

The defining characteristic of securities litigations typically is the high stakes involved.  Whatever the scope of the claims at issue, we are able to provide sound judgment while acting efficiently and effectively to protect our clients' interests.
