Financial Regulatory Enforcement and Compliance Response

Law and Forensics supports financial institutions and securities firms in responding to investigations and enforcement actions by financial regulators including the SEC, CFTC, OCC, and Treasury Department. We assist with regulatory document review, witness preparation, trading record analysis, and technical investigation of alleged violations involving market manipulation, insider trading, violations of anti-money laundering rules, or other regulatory breaches. 

Our team conducts internal investigations to identify compliance failures, assess remediation needs, and support defense of regulatory charges. We examine communications, trading systems, compliance policies, and control procedures to evaluate the organization’s response to regulatory requirements. Our experts include former SEC senior attorneys and federal investigators who served in leadership roles prosecuting securities fraud, FCPA violations, crypto asset enforcement, and complex financial crimes, resulting in criminal charges and enforcement actions against more than 100 individuals. These professionals have directed investigations into implosions of broker-dealers, multinational bribery schemes, market manipulation involving publicly traded companies, insider trading by corporate insiders, and misuse of material nonpublic information. Our detailed investigations and expert analysis support negotiation of settlements, preparation of response submissions, and development of enforcement defense strategies. 

We have worked extensively with financial services firms and understand the regulatory landscape applicable to banking, securities, and derivatives markets.
