Joel Trotter is the Co-Chair of the National Office, a central resource for clients and Latham lawyers facing complex issues arising under the US securities laws. Joel has successfully guided public companies of all sizes, from Fortune 100 to emerging growth companies, through major transactions, bet-the-company corporate crises, and regulatory matters. He served previously as Global Co-Chair of the Public Company Representation practice and, for 10 years, as Co-Chair of the Corporate Department in Washington, D.C.
Members of Congress credited Joel, in a 2023 hearing, as “a leading member of the IPO Task Force” and “a principal author of the IPO-related provisions” of the JOBS Act of 2012, enacted by a nearly unanimous Congress to reform the IPO process.
Joel has testified repeatedly before Congress on the federal securities laws, and his publications include contributions to the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal against overzealous SEC enforcement, “Nothing to Fear From the SEC?” (October 2015).
