Litigation partners Martin Flumenbaum and Brad Karp’s latest Second Circuit Review column, “Court Declines to Extend Absolute Immunity in Claims Against Stock Exchanges,” was published in the February 28 issue of the New York Law Journal. The authors discuss City of Providence, Rhode Island v.

Litigation associate Reeves Jordan assisted in the preparation of this article.
