Reforming Securities Litigation and Enforcement for ESG Disclosure

By Kevin S. Haeberle April 2, 2025 by Kevin S. Haeberle

In an earlier post, I discussed my paper arguing that significant changes to the corporate-disclosure regime should trigger review of aspects of the securities-fraud regime. This is because the disclosure regime and the securities-fraud regime go hand-in-hand. So if …

Fraud-on-the-Market Liability in the ESG Era

By Kevin S. Haeberle July 29, 2024 by Kevin S. Haeberle

Fraud-on-the-market (“FOTM”) suits are thought to generate considerable benefits for society – namely, those associated with increased stock-market price accuracy and liquidity. But these suits are also said to impose exceptionally large social costs relative to even those associated with …

By Kevin S. Haeberle July 10, 2024 by Kevin S. Haeberle

In a January 2022 law review article, I argued that (1) the actively managed ETF was set to emerge as a significant feature of the investment landscape and (2) this emergence would have important implications for the main parties that …

Making a Market for Corporate Disclosure

By Kevin S. Haeberle and M. Todd Henderson May 23, 2018 by Kevin S. Haeberle

Public-company information has great social value. However, it is widely thought that left to their own devices, firms will under-disclose information about their condition and prospects. This thinking is embodied in the mandatory-disclosure regime that sits at the foundation of …

Making a Market for Corporate Disclosure

By Kevin S. Haeberle and M. Todd Henderson March 7, 2017 by Kevin S. Haeberle

Mandatory disclosure sits at the foundation of modern securities regulation. Public companies must produce and share a wide variety of information about their condition and prospects, and they must do so on their own dime.

There can be little doubt …

Information-Dissemination Law: The Regulation of How Market-Moving Information Is Revealed

By Kevin S. Haeberle and M. Todd Henderson May 19, 2016 by Kevin S. Haeberle

Corporate information that moves stock-market prices has long sat at the center of modern securities regulation in the United States. The Great Depression-era securities laws at the foundation of the field require much mandatory disclosure of this type of information. …

Stock-Market Law and the Accuracy of Public Companies’ Stock Prices
