Martin Flumenbaum and Brad S. Karp, partners at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, review the recent decision in Clark v.

Martin Flumenbaum and Brad S.

Instead, the panel held that a presumption of irreparable harm may arise, if there is evidence that defendant's continued wrongful use of the proprietary information poses a substantial risk of disclosure or other impairment of the information's value.

Karp, members of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, write that the Supreme Court has never addressed whether American Pipe tolling applies to putative class members who file individual actions prior to a decision on certification.

Karp write that in determining how important an omission in a registration statement may have been to a reasonable investor in light of the overall context, the Second Circuit has provided two seemingly divergent approaches in a pair of recent decisions.
