Hung G. Ta is the founder and managing director of HGT Law. Prior to starting the firm, Mr. Ta practiced as a litigation attorney for more than eleven years at the law firms of Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP and Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. Before that, Mr. Ta clerked with the Honorable Justice Mary Gaudron of the High Court of Australia.
Mr. Ta’s practice focuses on helping investors recover losses as a result of misconduct such as: securities fraud; breaches of fiduciary duty by corporate directors and officers and other corporate governance violations; breach of contract; and business torts.
On behalf of foreign and U.S. institutional and individual investors, Mr. Ta has litigated and settled many cases involving allegations of securities fraud. These cases include both class actions and direct, opt-out actions. See e.g., In re Shuffle Master, Inc. Sec. Litig.; In re Am. Dental Partners, Inc. Sec. Litig.; Bölling, et al. v. Dendreon Corp., et al.; Colonial First State Inv. Ltd. v. Valeant Pharm. Int’l, Inc., et al.
In addition, Mr. Ta has litigated significant cases alleging breaches of fiduciary duty by corporate directors and officers, such as In re Del Monte Foods Co. Shareholder Litig., in which the Delaware Chancery Court issued a landmark opinion upholding the need for corporate advisors to disclose their conflicts of interest and for boards to oversee their advisors. Mr. Ta has brought claims under Delaware law against boards of directors and officers for failure to discharge their duty of oversight (Kocen v. Chopra, et al.; Steinberg v. Bryant, et al.). Mr. Ta has also investigated and brought shareholder derivative actions challenging other significant corporate governance abuses, such as related party transactions between companies and their controlling shareholders/ directors/ officers (Reynolds v. Dow Chemical Co.; Burbrink v. Campbell, et al.), the award of excessive compensation and the failure by boards to adequately disclose executive perquisites.
Mr. Ta has represented clients in numerous other general commercial litigation contexts, including litigating claims of a former CEO against his company for breach of an employment contract (Kohl v. Trans High Corporation); and litigating claims on behalf of a hedge for professional malpractice against a major accounting firm (GoldenTree Asset Management LP v. BDO Seidman LLP); litigating claims for malpractice against a law firm in connection with a real estate transaction; and litigating claims for securities fraud against an oil and gas exploration company arising from the participation by a hedge fund in a gas drilling program.
