Investor Lawyers Press April Deadlines in Lakeland and Navan Securities Cases

The notices reflect a race to secure lead plaintiffs who will set the course of the litigation.

Overview

Plaintiff firms are reminding shareholders of April filing cutoffs, with lead-plaintiff motions due April 24, 2026 for Lakeland Industries and Navan, April 27 for Franklin BSP Realty Trust, and May 1 for Apollo Global Management.
The Lakeland complaint alleges the company hid problems at its Pacific Helmets and Jolly units, citing shipping and production delays, slow product rollouts, tariff pressures, and unreliable guidance.
A securities class action against Lakeland is already on file, and investors who want to serve as lead plaintiff must ask the court by April 24, 2026.
A lead plaintiff acts for the wider investor group and helps direct the case against the company.
No class is certified yet, so shareholders are not represented unless they hire a lawyer or a class is later approved, and firms are offering contingency-fee representation.
