Securities Litigation and Enforcement Proceedings

The Firm's unique ability and experience in all facets of the securities law permits it to provide strategic counseling in the defense of class actions and related SEC enforcement action and criminal prosecution.The Firm represents securities issuers, officers and directors, venture capital firms, hedge funds, investment bankers, broker-dealers, attorneys and accountants, and others, in individual as well as class actions and derivative lawsuits, and in enforcement proceedings initiated by the SEC, NYSE, AMEX, NASD, CFTC, FTC, and by state regulatory agencies.The Firm is approved counsel for several prominent officer and director and error and omission carriers.

Members of the Firm have served as receivers for the SEC, the CFTC, the FTC, and as counsel to such receivers, and have been appointed receivers by many of the current members of the bench for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the State Circuit Court. This experience permits the Firm to undertake strategic analysis of the risk to clients at the initial outset of a case rather than requiring the retention of other counsel as matters progress into the realm of agency proceedings or criminal law enforcement action.The Firm believes an integrated defense covering numerous fronts is the best way to protect the client.
