In today's regulatory environment, matters that begin as routine and informal inquiries by the Securities and Exchange Commission can often end up as serious enforcement cases or criminal investigations. When dealing with SEC inquiries, it is critical for the client to bring a veteran defense lawyer to the table. All of the lawyers on our White Collar Criminal Defense team are experienced in SEC enforcement matters and several are former SEC Staff Attorneys. We have guided our clients through all phases of enforcement proceedings, from requests for documents or testimony, to Wells submissions and, if necessary, at an administrative or District Court hearing or trial.
