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.
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.
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.
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.
Navigating securities litigation requires expertise and guidance to protect your firm’s reputation and financial standing. Our seasoned securities litigation attorneys at My RIA Lawyer are here to provide you with unparalleled support and representation.
Don’t let the complexities of securities litigation overwhelm you – our outsourced compliance professionals are ready to stand by your side. Contact us today for a consultation and take the first step toward safeguarding your firm’s interests.
Making the jump to start your own firm is a big decision. Its stressful, hard work, and you have to learn a ton. This why I decided to hire a professional team to help establish my RIA the right way the first time. My RIA Lawyer’s team is absolutely amazing. They have demonstrated expert knowledge, personable staff, and they have shown us how much they genuinely care about setting us up for success by giving us the tools we need to help others. Thank you Leila and Liz for all of your hard work!
The initial consultation was extremely valuable. I definitely recommend speaking with them. I had very custom needs, and they rose to the task!
I worked with Leila as I was getting my new RIA firm up and running. Leila provided expert legal advice as a complement to the national compliance firm who was assisting me with my registration. I was introduced to Leila after I had already begun the process and not sure how I would have made it through without her. She was an invaluable resource and I look forward to working together again in the future!
I have used My RIA Lawyer for filing my Annual Amendments in the past and was very happy with their services and professionalism. Leila Shaver is very responsive, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services!
Leila is an expert with compliance but she also offers a wealth of knowledge as a business owner. We discussed everything including compliance, marketing, business partnerships, and more. Even though my firm is not yet at a point to work with her, she has sent me multiple emails offering assistance with the things we spoke about during our meeting.
The attorneys at MyRIALawyer are always extremely attentive, responsive and competent. We look forward to expanding our relationship, as we continue to grow.

We are the answer to All Your Questions.
“It’s important that you look at your legal provider and who it is you have invested in to protect your business, so there are a few things you should be asking your lawyer. First, do they know what the heck you’re doing? Do they know the services you provide? The fees you’re charging? Do they understand securities? One of the problems I see when there is a legal action or when there’s an enforcement action, is that so many of you are going to attorneys that have ZERO securities experience! You’re going to, God forbid, a general practitioner!! That’s not the kind of lawyer you want, you want a securities attorney! You want them to understand your business.“
