Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of HomeFed Corporation (“HomeFed” or the “Company”) (OTC QB: HOFD) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired by Jefferies Financial Group, Inc.
