STEVENSON, Md.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of BigBand Networks, Inc. (aBigBanda) (NASDAQ: BBND) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of BigBand relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by ARRIS Group, Inc. (aARRISa). The firma™s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.
