Welcome to the new, freshly updated Securities Litigation Watch.

I am your new host, Adam Savett, and I'm the Vice President, Product & Market Segment Manager for Securities
Class Action Services at ISS.

A number of you may have read my musings on securities litigation at my old blog, Lies, Damn Lies, & Forward Looking Statements.

For those that are not readers of my old blog, or former colleagues, I'll take a brief moment to introduce myself.

I am a recovering attorney, having spent the past six years as a practicing securities litigator at firms in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. During that time I represented and advised institutional investors, including public and private pension funds as well as Taft-Hartley plans, in all aspects of securities litigation, and had primary day-to-day responsibility for my firm’s institutional investor portfolio monitoring programs.

Now I manage the suite of Securities Class Action Services products for ISS. These products make ISS the only firm that delivers a complete, outsourced class-action service to specifically help institutional investors meet their fiduciary responsibilities.

The purpose of this blog is to both educate and entertain as we discuss the wild and sometimes wacky world of securities litigation. Readers are strongly encouraged to send in story ideas or tips or even guest posts if a topic is near and dear to your heart.

And so, without further adieu, let the blogging begin...
