BLB&G Partner Ed Timlin spoke on a panel titled “Delaware M&A Litigation Developments” as part of Practising Law Institute’s “Mergers & Acquisitions 2025: Advanced Trends and Developments” program on February 6. Participants learned about recent developments in M&A litigation in Delaware, with a pragmatic focus on identifying potentially problematic aspects of deal processes and counseling clients on issues regarding significant or controlling stockholders.
Ed prosecutes corporate governance, securities fraud, and other shareholder rights litigation on behalf of the firm’s institutional clients out of the firm’s New York office. With over 15 years of legal experience under his belt, Ed has helped shareholders achieve substantial financial recoveries and corporate governance reforms through M&A, fiduciary oversight, and securities litigation. He has been a senior member of the trial teams prosecuting some of the firm’s most significant litigations, including the breach of fiduciary duty class action concerning Banco Santander’s 2022 squeeze-out of the public shares of its U.S. consumer finance business, achieving a $162.5 million settlement—one of the largest recoveries ever in a Delaware stockholder class action.
