How Our Securities Litigation Attorney Helps You

We are committed to protecting your rights and helping you navigate the complexities of this legal area. Here’s how we help you.

Navigating Enforcement Staff Questions

When facing an enforcement staff questioning during a securities litigation matter, having a skilled securities litigation lawyer by your side is crucial. These experienced trial lawyers are well-versed in navigating securities litigation cases in state and federal courts, including the district courts such as the Southern District of New York. They handle securities class action lawsuits, securities claims, and regulatory investigations related to securities fraud and violations of the Securities Exchange Act.

During questioning, the enforcement staff may employ various tactics to elicit specific answers that could harm your case. They may try to get you to admit non-compliance with guidelines and requirements, even if you are innocent. Additionally, they may ask unrelated questions in an attempt to broaden the scope of the investigation. Having a knowledgeable securities litigation attorney present can protect you from falling into these traps and inadvertently admitting fault.

The presence of a securities litigation attorney can often deter the enforcement staff from pursuing the case further. This is essential for safeguarding your firm’s reputation and financial well-being. The attorney will provide guidance on how to answer questions effectively and advise you on when it is appropriate to remain silent.

Reviewing Settlement Options

Sometimes, your securities litigation attorney may recommend settling the claim to avoid going to trial. Settling can help mitigate the reputational and financial impact of the claim. Your attorney can negotiate a favorable settlement that does not require admitting fault and can influence how the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) describes the alleged misconduct. This can help preserve your firm’s reputation.

Furthermore, settling the case can minimize the financial impact. Your securities litigation lawyer will advocate for a fair settlement that leaves your firm stable financially. If you believe a settlement may be in your best interests, it is advisable to discuss your case with an attorney from a reputable law firm specializing in securities litigation matters.

Narrowing The Scope Of The Investigation

Your securities litigation attorney can help you narrow the scope of the regulator’s investigation. The attorney can discuss the investigation with enforcement staff to find out what information they seek. Then, your attorney can advise you on the documents you must provide for the investigation. This is much easier than providing massive amounts of documents. It also prevents the SEC from getting documents that could cause them to widen the investigation.

Ensuring Compliance

A securities litigation attorney from My RIA Lawyer can also help you fix any compliance issues during the investigation. Your attorney can review all of your processes and recommend changes. Making changes during the investigation can limit the fallout if the case goes to court. Remedying the issues now might even help you avoid enforcement action and penalties.
