Juan Monteverde on Pay Disclosure Lawsuits

Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com

In this podcast, Juan Monteverde of Faruqi & Faruqi provides some insight into how he determines which disclosure lawsuits to pursue, including:

– What types of disclosure lawsuits are you pursuing these days?
– How do you determine which particular company’s disclosure to target?
– Have you been discouraged by some of the court’s rulings?
– Do you think you might use pay ratio disclosures as fodder for lawsuits once the SEC adopts a final rule?

Check out Mike Melbinger’s blog about “something benignly calling itself the “Shareholder Foundation,” which is a front group (or “shill”) for strike suit lawyers seems to be getting in on the game, presumably based on the [limited] success and [very wide] publicity achieve by Faruqi.”
