An Examination of Post-Crisis Financial Markets Litigation

Abstract

The Global Financial Crisis spurred numerous investigations into activity at the large money-center institutions. Litigation and associated settlements have since skyrocketed. Much of the litigation into banking misconduct that led to the crisis, and its magnitude, has run its course. But investors and regulators worldwide have been vigorously probing other financial markets activities that began during and after the crisis, on both the sell-side and the buy-side. This research article captures several of the key themes among crisis-era and post-crisis issues being scrutinized in the trading markets.
