One of California’s leading securities litigators, Daniel Tyukody in 2005 won on behalf of Thane International Inc. one of the rare securities class actions to go to trial and final verdict, a case which was all the more unusual because it involved strict liability '33 Act claims. A partner in Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe’s Los Angeles office, Tyukody most recently defended Insight Enterprises, an information technology computer products company, against shareholder claims. He represents issuers, underwriters and individuals in private securities cases, SEC and SRO proceedings, and in conducting internal investigations for boards and audit committees. He is currently representing advertising company L90 Inc. in an important Ninth Circuit appeal concerning the scope of aiding and abetting versus primary liability for purposes of Rule 10b-5.
