MABSL: Are you prepared for post–bubble litigation?
"The quiet times are over for securities litigators," says the legal press. "The subprime mortgage meltdown has spurred a record number of investor class actions and other litigation, and attorneys and researchers say this is just the tip of the iceberg." Kimberly Atkins, The Subprime Mortgage Meltdown Hits Securities Law, MINN. LAW., Mar. 17, 2008.
If you want to be (or already are) involved in this wave of litigation, be sure to consult the
Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities Litigation Handbook, a comprehensive source of expert guidance for effectively litigating an asset- or mortgage-backed securities case. The full text of this publication is contained in the newly released Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities Litigation Handbook database (
MABSL) on Westlaw. MABSL explains securitization (including how it affects claims by or against a client) and discusses loan origination and servicing, trust representation, pre– and post–securitization claims, borrower litigation, and rating agency claims.
