How Our Deep SEC Insider Experience Protects You
- Understanding How the SEC Thinks: Having worked inside the SEC, David Chase understands how the agency evaluates evidence, develops enforcement theories, negotiates resolutions, and decides when to recommend formal action. He leverages that experience to identify weaknesses in its case, anticipate the SEC’s next move, and position clients for the best possible resolution.
- Dual Civil and Criminal Defense Capabilities: Because federal securities law violations can result in both civil enforcement proceedings and criminal prosecution—and given the increasing frequency of parallel investigations—David’s rare combination of SEC Enforcement and Department of Justice prosecution experience ensures seamless, comprehensive protection.
