Practice Areas

Joshua M. Newville co-heads Proskauer’s Securities Enforcement group and is a member of the Securities Litigation and Asset Management Litigation practices. He represents private fund sponsors, investment advisers and financial institutions in SEC enforcement matters, complex regulatory investigations and high-stakes securities litigation.

Josh represents asset managers, financial institutions and senior executives in SEC, DOJ and other regulatory investigations involving fund valuation, fees and expenses, MNPI/insider trading, and related fiduciary and disclosure issues. He has secured favorable resolutions — including declinations and settlements without disgorgement — in SEC investigations involving multi-billion-dollar funds, novel enforcement theories and emerging priorities.

In addition to his enforcement practice, Josh advises private equity, hedge fund and registered fund sponsors and other financial services firms on regulatory risk, SEC examinations and compliance matters. He regularly leads sensitive internal investigations for fund managers, boards and audit committees involving accounting, disclosure and fiduciary duty issues.

Before joining Proskauer, Josh served as Senior Counsel in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, including in the Asset Management Unit, where he investigated and litigated violations of the federal securities laws involving investment advisers, broker-dealers and public companies. His SEC experience informs his approach to enforcement strategy and risk mitigation.
