NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2015 / Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Towers Watson & Co. ("Towers Watson" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TW). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.

The investigation concerns whether Towers Watson and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On September 23, 2015, post-market, The Wall Street Journal reported that Towers Watson's CEO, John Haley, netted $10 million while the company was negotiating a widely criticized merger with Willis Group Holdings earlier this year. The announcement of the merger on June 30, 2015 caused the company's stock to fall nearly 9% that day.
