/PRNewswire/ — Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EIGR).

To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:

The lawsuit seeks to recover losses for shareholders who purchased Eiger between

March 10, 2021

and October 4, 2022.

Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until


January 9, 2023


to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
