Steve Crimmins defends clients in enforcement matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial regulators.

Peers rank Steve at the top of his practice areas. US News-Best Lawyers in America named him the “Securities Regulation Lawyer of the Year for New York City” based on a 2017 peer survey, and also recognized his practice both for 2021 and again for 2022 as the national “Securities Regulation Law Firm of the Year,” ranking Steve for both securities litigation and securities regulation. Chambers USA has ranked him nationally since 2009 for “complex and sensitive SEC enforcement actions and investigations on behalf of public companies and broker dealers,” with “significant strength in financial fraud and accounting issues.” Chambers reports peer comments that “Steve is terrific” (2021), “steeped in securities law” (2020), a “real leader of the SEC enforcement Bar” (2019), and that “you will find no one who knows more about how to litigate at the SEC” (2018).
