· Jason Hegland, Director, Securities Litigation Analytics @ Stanford Law School (SLA)
SLA began as a simple faculty research project, and has transformed into a large-scale data-collection and research effort into the public and private securities enforcement mechanisms. Through the course of research, we have collected data on over 3,000 class action and SEC lawsuits, including information on the types of defendants being sued, the outcomes of the cases and how settlement monies are funded. We are now looking to monetize these data for use by practitioners in plaintiff and defense firms and the D&O insurance industry.
