A Willkie team led by partner Glenn Vanzura was recognized with a “Shout Out” by The AmLaw Litigation Daily for its victory on behalf of Generac Holdings, its CEO and its CFO, in a securities class action dismissal against the energy product company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
On April 30, U.S. District Judge Brett H. Ludwig dismissed, with prejudice, a putative securities class action that advanced three separate liability theories against energy product company Generac, its CEO and its CEO. The lead plaintiffs alleged that the defendants misled investors by omitting material facts concerning Generac’s generator sales, a purported product defect associated with the company’s solar energy products, and the company’s supposed overreliance on a single dealer for its solar product sales.

This result marks the team’s second defense victory in a federal shareholder class action against Generac in just the past three months.
