Notable Cases in Securities Litigation
- The representation of the SEC-appointed receiver in one of the most successful SEC receiverships, resulting in a multi-million dollar recovery for victims of an offshore banking fraud and arbitrage trading scheme. The case involved a spectrum of complex litigation, transactional and tax matters in the U.S. and globally; injunctive relief; the successful tracing and recovery of laundered monies and disgorgement of assets; and the successful prosecution of civil contempt charges resulting in incarceration.
- In another recent case, we obtained injunctive relief in favor of a shareholder in a federal securities fraud action and prevailed in the prosecution of civil contempt charges against a defendant, resulting in the imposition of monetary sanctions and incarceration.
