Transocean Ltd. Securities Fraud Lawsuit Overview
The Rosen Law Firm, a prominent global legal representative of investors, has issued a critical reminder for individuals who purchased securities of
Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) within the specified period from
October 31, 2023 to
September 2, 2024. This timeframe marks what is known as the 'Class Period' in legal terms, within which investors may have valid claims related to securities fraud.
Important Deadlines and Class Action Participation
A significant deadline for investors to consider is
February 24, 2025, by which potential lead plaintiffs must file to participate in the lawsuit actively. Those who acquired
Transocean shares during the Class Period might qualify for compensation. Notably, engaging in the class action does not incur immediate costs for investors, as the firm operates on a contingency fee basis—meaning fees are only applied if the case is settled successfully.
To participate in the class action lawsuit, interested investors can visit the
Rosen Law Firm's website or directly contact Phillip Kim, Esq. at

The Basis of the Lawsuit
The legal complaint asserts that throughout the Class Period, Transocean’s executives made several misleading statements and failed to disclose vital information. The lawsuit alleges that:
1. Transocean considered two of its vessels, the
Discoverer Inspiration and the
Development Driller III, as non-strategic assets.
2. The asset valuations reported by Transocean were inflated.
3. A significant impairment loss would be incurred if these vessels were sold, nearly doubling their sale price.
4. Positive public statements made by the company's representatives regarding its business and prospects lacked a reasonable basis and were materially deceptive.
When the truth regarding these matters came to light, it resulted in a decline in share value, leading to financial damage for the investors.
Selecting the Right Legal Representation
Individuals interested in joining the class action are advised to select experienced legal counsel with a history of successful litigation in such cases. The Rosen Law Firm has a strong reputation, having secured the largest securities class action settlement against a Chinese firm at one point. Furthermore, they ranked first for the number of securities class-action settlements documented in 2017, consistently placing in the top four every year since 2013. In 2019 alone, the firm recovered over
$438 million for investors, showcasing their track record.
Additional Considerations
While no class has been certified yet, interested parties can still engage with potential counsel or choose to remain uninvolved until further developments occur in the lawsuit. An important note is that an investor's eligibility for any future recovery will not be contingent on their role as lead plaintiff.
