Our Firm
Nationwide Securities Litigation Defense
We represent brokerage firms, broker-dealers, companies, executives, and other clients in all types of securities litigation. With a nationwide network of senior-level securities litigators, we provide representation for administrative, civil, and criminal matters throughout the United States. Led by firm founder Nick Oberheiden, PhD, our securities litigation team includes former U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys who prosecuted large-scale securities fraud cases before entering private practice.
Firm Approach
With a team composed entirely of senior-level lawyers and expert consultants, we take a straightforward and results-oriented approach to securities litigation defense. In all matters—from civil investment fraud litigation to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations and criminal securities fraud prosecutions—we focus on protecting our clients’ interests as cost-effectively as possible. Our senior lawyers and consultants work with our clients’ key stakeholders directly, and we help our clients’ key stakeholders make timely and strategic decisions throughout the litigation process.
In federal enforcement matters, we focus on resolving our clients’ matters without formal charges. In many cases, this means resolving our clients’ matters without any further consequences. When it is not possible to avoid further consequences entirely, we negotiate resolutions with the SEC and DOJ that protect our clients to the greatest extent possible. We take a similar approach to private civil litigation—working proactively to achieve favorable results for our clients prior to trial.
