Regulatory and Compliance
The pervasiveness of local, state, and federal regulations and legal requirements can significantly impact a company’s business operations. Therefore, it is essential to understand the legal environment in which government agencies function to successfully anticipate, respond to, or even challenge regulatory and enforcement activities. A securities and administrative regulatory attorney can play a critical role in helping clients protect their interests and navigate the securities industry’s complex legal and regulatory landscape.
Types of Securities and Administrative Regulatory Issues We Handle
We have advised and represented clients in a variety of legal issues related to the securities industry, including:
Compliance
Securities professionals, brokers, and trading firms must comply with federal and state securities laws, which are written extremely broadly. We can also help navigate the complex regulatory requirements imposed by agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Enforcement Actions
Responding to regulatory inquiries, investigations, audits, and/or representation in enforcement actions brought by regulatory agencies such as the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators.
Resolving disputes through arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms or mounting a defense to claims of securities fraud, breach of contract, and other securities-related claims.
Advise on the legal and regulatory issues involved in mergers, acquisitions, and other business transactions in the securities industry to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
SEC Regulations
A securities law attorney can also assist your business with other aspects of routine SEC compliance, such as corporate governance, reporting obligations, issuing stock and secondary offers, and adhering to exchange regulations. Financing decisions affect the launching of a business and the ability to expand as it succeeds. In addition to creating the legal documentation required for financing your company, a skilled securities lawyer can help you find suitable funding sources, introduce those sources, and guide you through the process while avoiding common pitfalls. Failure to comply with SEC regulations can lead to Administrative action and legal liability. An attorney can help your company remain in compliance and also defend against any enforcement actions that have already been initiated that allege your company is non-compliant.
