About

Provided by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Securities matters often involve parallel litigation and enforcement proceedings, and our securities enforcement and litigation team has the experience and depth to advise and defend clients in these overlapping areas. We regularly represent public and private companies, financial institutions, officers, directors, and board committees in securities enforcement inquiries and investigations, lawsuits asserting violations of US federal and state securities laws, and shareholder derivative actions. We also counsel clients on the creation and regulation of financial products, guide them through internal and regulatory investigations, and defend them in litigation.

Our team includes former high-ranking government prosecutors and veteran US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawyers. We also have practitioners who previously worked at the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), as well as several former government prosecutors from districts across the United States.
