SEC Defense
McDermott Will & Emery’s SEC Defense Group is composed of lawyers across the country, including former members of the SEC Division of Enforcement, all of whom have substantial experience covering the full spectrum of securities enforcement activity. Our lawyers are knowledgeable about the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), its organization, rules, practices, customs and staff. Our group’s experience is well respected by the SEC, as evidenced by the fact that the agency has, at our request, filed amicus curiae briefs supporting our clients’ positions in private litigation. The SEC has also called upon members of our group to act as receivers in SEC civil enforcement proceedings.
Our lawyers have represented public companies, accounting firms, broker-dealers, investment advisers, underwriters, audit committees and officers, directors and senior management in investigations and enforcement proceedings brought by the SEC; the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD); the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB); stock exchanges; and other self-regulatory organizations, as well as various state securities enforcement agencies.
