Big Firm Experience --
Boutique Focus and Flexibility

Advocating for clients in high-stakes litigation and helping clients navigate complex regulatory matters.

Our Services

 

Regulatory Matters

We represent clients in governmental and regulatory matters, including before the SEC, FINRA, OCC, FDIC, and DOJ.

Commercial Litigation and Class Actions

We represent clients in complex, commercial litigation matters and class actions.

Affirmative Recovery Program

We conduct internal investigations into accounting fraud and other corporate malfeasance.

Whistleblower and Consumer Fraud Cases

We zealously pursue whistleblower bounties and other recoveries when institutions engage in fraud, deceitful trade practices, or other unlawful activity.

Investor Recoveries

We help investors recover losses caused by financial institutions ranging from sponsors of private funds to the world’s largest banks and brokerage firms.

 

Our Litigation Approach

 

We are trial lawyers. We believe obtaining the best results for our clients comes from preparing every case thoroughly and with the singular aim to win at trial.

We are experienced. We represent clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, in the most complex of commercial litigation matters. We have investigated, pursued, and defended claims involving alleged corporate wrongdoers, and we are uniquely capable of advocating for victims of fraud or unfair trade practices.

We were previously partners at defense-oriented firms, where we cut our teeth on bet-the-company defense and high-stakes regulatory matters. Our boutique firm makes that experience and know-how available, while avoiding big-firm overhead and economics. Our model prizes efficiency, routinely involves seasoned lawyers in all facets of a matter, and affords us the flexibility necessary to consider any form of alternative fee arrangement, including, for the right matters, full contingency.

Our Regulatory Approach

 

We are knowledgeable. We view regulation through the eyes of government agencies. Our lawyers include the former Branch Chief in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division in Atlanta, whose functions there included supervising a group of attorneys and accountants who conducted investigations of possible securities law violations. We have handled governmental and regulatory matters, including proceedings or claims before the SEC, FINRA, OCC, FDIC, and DOJ, for decades.

We are effective. We seek proactive resolutions of investigative concerns outside of litigation or other formal process. But if it becomes necessary to go to trial, we use our extensive regulatory and trial experience to advocate zealously on behalf of our clients.
