Kenneth (Ken) Breen has earned a national reputation as a leading advocate who consistently delivers favorable outcomes for his clients. Major corporations and executives frequently choose Ken to handle internal investigations and to represent them in high-stakes investigations and trials across a wide range of matters, including securities and commodities fraud, health care fraud, consumer protection, money laundering, anti-corruption and crypto — many of which involve law enforcement and regulatory agencies from multiple jurisdictions and cross-border legal issues. He regularly represents clients in court and before the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Federal Reserve, state attorney generals, state financial services departments, FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations, other federal agencies, and international regulators. Ken has defended clients in many investigations in which no charges were brought, or where favorable settlements were achieved, often by leveraging his reputation as a winning trial and appellate attorney and former federal prosecutor.
