Legal opportunism

Legal opportunism is a term coined in a 2015 article in the Journal of Business Research to describe litigation following an IPO to recover potential losses after negative stock developments, regardless of the legal merits of the claim.[1] The authors conclude that the best predictor of post-IPO litigation is not the legal merits of any potential claim, but rather the amount of potential recovery and the assets of the targeted corporation.
