LITIGATION

Securities Litigation & Arbitration Services

Our team is experienced in all areas of securities litigation, from formal and informal investigations by the SEC and state regulators to litigation in state and federal courts. And, having a former SEC Enforcement Branch Chief on our team gives us unique insight to best serve our clients. 

LITIGATION PRACTICE AREAS

Rob Munnelly, Courtney Simmons and Gary Matsko

We successfully handle matters including:

  • Wells Submissions and alleged securities fraud and securities law violations
  • breach of fiduciary duties claims
  • insider trading claims
  • civil RICO matters
  • liability of officers, shareholders, and directors
  • claims against brokers and investment advisors alleging suitability and churning
Results

Our strong track record of success.

  • Acted as lead counsel for shareholders of leveraged, tax-exempt bond funds in actions under the Investment Company Act against investment advisors. We challenged the legality of the advisors’ compensation agreements, which made the amount of their compensation dependent on their maintaining the funds’ leverage.
  • Represented a former senior officer of several related major mutual fund companies in an SEC investigation and in enforcement litigation.
  • Successfully navigated towards no enforcement in multiple SEC investigations.
