Thornton Law Firm has been appointed co-Lead Counsel in a federal securities class action pending against the giant electronics manufacturing company Flex, Ltd. and two of its most senior executives.

Azar & Associates, P.C., Thornton Law Firm will aggressively seek to recover investment losses suffered by Flex Ltd. investors who were defrauded when Flex and its senior executives made a number of material misstatements and omissions concerning the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. The Bristol County Retirement System has been appointed Lead Plaintiff, and it looks forward to directing this litigation on behalf of the putative class of Flex shareholder it represents.
