Information materiality
Significant experience in conducting event study analyses for stock drop and insider trading cases. Event studies are commonly used to evaluate the materiality of nonpublic information once it is disseminated into the market. Authored a chapter on the use of event studies in “Financial Modeling” by Professor Simon Benninga. In addition, worked with experts to evaluate the practices of a company to assess contemporaneous views of materiality to establish or rebut claims of scienter. Also worked on numerous securities class actions involving analysis of loss causation, materiality, and aggregate damages estimates using trading models.
