The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of Emergency Medical Services Corp. (“E.M.S.”) (NYSE: EMS) and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of E.M.S. relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (CD&R).
