Meet Travis Laster, Unusual Delaware Chancery Judge Who Focuses on 'Darker Underside' of Cases
"The newest judge in one of the nation’s most respected corporate courts is unusually outspoken about what he calls “the darker underside” of securities class actions and his opinion of lawyers on both sides of the case.
Vice Chancellor Travis Laster, who is in his early 40s, calls plaintiffs attorneys who rush to file suit as soon as a corporate deal is announced “pilgrims,” because, like those who came to this country on the Mayflower centuries ago, they are the first to arrive and quick to settle, reports Reuters. He refers to those who file often as “frequent fliers.”
However, he has also taken defense lawyers to task. “Defense lawyers benefit from this game,” the judge said at a December hearing, reports another Reuters article. “They get to bill hours without any meaningful reputational risk from a loss. They then get to get a cheap settlement for their client. Disclosures are cheap.”
