Broker-Dealer Regulatory & Enforcement

Few firms can offer a practice with the size and depth of experience as our Broker-Dealer Regulatory & Enforcement Group. Our team of lawyers is dedicated entirely to this area, providing regulatory and compliance advice to broker-dealers and other financial services firms and handling SEC and SRO examination and enforcement matters. We also assist banks and hedge funds in their dealings with broker-dealers and act as regulatory counsel in connection with acquisitions involving broker-dealers. We often collaborate across practices, including with our white collar defense & government relations, bank regulatory and securities litigation (‘33 Act) practices. This combination of superior knowledge and experience bolsters both the size and services we provide to our clients.

Our Work

We represent many of the industry’s most significant market participants and are well known for representing leading dark pool operators, high frequency trading firms, prime brokers and correspondent clearing firms. We have also represented several large broker-dealers in connection with parallel criminal and regulatory investigations and have substantial experience representing associated persons of broker-dealers in connection with a broad range of criminal and civil inquiries, including insider trading, manipulative trading, spoofing/layering, valuation and mismarking.

High Frequency Trading

The SEC, FINRA and various other regulators, responding to political and public sentiment, have spent considerable efforts investigating high frequency trading strategies, largely without success. We represent some of the largest HFT firms and have helped them avoid significant enforcement actions.

Dark Pool SEC Investigations

Dark pools are alternative trading systems that do not display quotations in the Consolidated Quotation System. We have had significant involvement in several dark pool enforcement matters and numerous smaller inquiries that resulted from targeted enforcement efforts in this space.
