Insider Insight into Regulators and Enforcers

Rules and regulations are always shifting. To truly excel in this fluctuating environment, you have to anticipate—you have to know what makes regulators and enforcers tick. Our team includes former senior assistant U.S. attorneys, U.S. Department of Justice trial attorneys, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement attorneys, and other seasoned defense practitioners with extensive experience aiding internal investigations and representing clients at every stage of criminal and parallel civil enforcement proceedings before those bodies, as well as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This deep knowledge of ongoing and developing enforcement priorities empowers Fenwick’s service to growth- and late-stage startups, especially those looking to be acquired or planning for an IPO.
