Fourth, I’ve been a lawyer for over 30 years, including nearly two decades focused on securities fraud litigation. My work has involved uncovering some of the most egregious financial frauds on Wall Street. As a trial lawyer, I’ve investigated fraudulent schemes, challenged unfair merger valuations, and held corporate insiders accountable for misconduct.
The success of my law firm turned on how effective and efficient we were in understanding the intricacies of the fraud and how creative we could be in formulating corporate governance reforms at some of the largest publicly traded companies in the world. As a result of our track record of success, my law firm has been retained by publicly traded companies, the founders of those companies, and U.S. Trustees in bankruptcy to pursue claims against wayward directors for insider trading, fraud, and breaching their fiduciary duties to the company. This litigation background has sharpened my ability to dissect financial statements, scrutinize SEC filings, and understand how governance failures and market risks impact investor outcomes.
