  • Internal investigations involving individuals and institutions.
When clients need legal advice and assistance, whether in an offensive or defensive posture, our firm has the experience required to counsel on the interrelated effects of such multi-arena demands. In fraud related to securities we have represented:

  • Corporate officers, directors and executives, both domestic and international, in corporate internal investigations.
  • Clients in actions concerning the allocation of proceeds to multiple victims through coordination with receivers and regulatory bodies to maximize recovery for clients, restitution claims, proofs of claims in bankruptcy court, and by seeking injunctive relief against further loss of assets.

  • Broker-dealers, their officers and employees, in numerous federal lawsuits and arbitrations against complaints from customers or other broker-dealers, including claims of fraud, unauthorized trading and failure to supervise.
