Our services include:
Securities Law and Regulatory Compliance: We represent investors, investment advisers, broker-dealers, fund managers, and issuers in matters involving federal and state securities laws. Our team provides strategic counsel on securities compliance, enforcement defense, and transactional issues, helping clients navigate complex frameworks like the Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and state Blue Sky laws. We also defend clients facing SEC investigations, state securities regulator proceedings, and enforcement actions, working to minimize regulatory risk and protect your financial interests.
FINRA Proceedings and Arbitration: Our firm offers skilled representation in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) matters, including investigations, enforcement actions, and arbitration proceedings. We advocate for financial professionals and investors responding to regulatory inquiries, subpoenas, or disciplinary allegations. Whether resolving customer disputes or defending your professional license, we work to protect your record and livelihood through formal hearings or negotiated resolutions. Our expertise in FINRA arbitration ensures your case is presented persuasively to recover losses or defend against claims.
Digital Assets and Cryptocurrency Disputes: The fast-evolving world of digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technologies presents unique challenges for investors. We represent token investors, crypto exchange users, funds, and businesses integrating blockchain, helping them recover losses from fraudulent ICOs, security token violations, or smart contract disputes. We offer cutting-edge guidance on securities compliance, AML/KYC obligations, smart contract governance, and enforcement risks, grounded in deep industry knowledge and regulatory experience.
Civil Litigation for Investment Recovery: We handle a wide range of civil disputes in state and federal courts, representing investors in cases involving investment fraud, breaches of contract, breaches of fiduciary duty, business torts, and partnership disputes. Our focused, strategic, and results-driven approach is designed to recover your losses efficiently, whether through trial or negotiated settlements. We fight to hold brokers, financial advisors, corporations, and unscrupulous business partners accountable for misconduct and self-dealing.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Not all disputes require a courtroom. We advocate for clients in arbitration and mediation to resolve financial disputes efficiently and cost-effectively. Our attorneys represent investors in AAA, JAMS, and other arbitration forums, handling cases involving securities fraud, investment losses, professional liability, and unfair trade practices. In mediation, we guide clients through collaborative negotiations, developing effective settlement strategies to recover losses while preserving relationships and minimizing costs.
