We have broad experience representing individuals and entities before federal and state prosecutorial and regulatory agencies in connection with government investigations, enforcement actions and criminal prosecutions. This practice group is headed up by our partner Ralph Siciliano who spent several years with the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and since 1983, has been in private practice representing and advising our clients in regulatory matters. The group also includes Ron Rubin, counsel to our firm, who spent five years as a criminal prosecutor and also served for seven years in the Miami and New York Offices of the SEC.
Our firm represents investment advisers, hedge funds, broker-dealers, and officers and directors of private and public companies before the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York. We also represent commodity trading advisers and commodity pool operators in investigations conducted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. We advise Audit Committees and Special Committees of Boards of Directors in connection with internal investigations, change of control transactions, and other matters. We also represent parties in connection with governmental investigations involving the insurance and real estate industries.
We protect our clients' rights, and we do so efficiently. We are sensitive to our clients' resources and we manage them appropriately. We are familiar with the investigative process of governmental agencies and have the expertise to guide our clients, whether they are witnesses or targets of such investigations. |
