Wrestling With the WWE: Uncovering Investment Fraud & Securities Law Violations Within World Wrestling Entertainment

Block & Leviton is representing stockholders against World Wide Wrestling Entertainment, alleging illegal investment practices in its $21.4 billion dollar merger with Ultimate Fighting Championship. This case also involves allegations of sexual misconduct: plaintiffs state that without the merger, Vince McMahon would no longer have continued in his role as WWE CEO, after repeated sexual misconduct allegations. Kimberly Evans, of Block & Leviton stated: “All of the claims in this litigation stem from one thing: Vince McMahon’s pervasive sexual misconduct against many women in the WWE organization for several years.” This case showcases renowned plaintiff firm Block & Leviton’s commitment to litigating both claims of sexual misconduct and securities fraud issues. Block & Leviton attorneys will discuss this case, how a law firm becomes lead counsel for high profile litigation, and the plaintiffs’ bar in general.
