When you are facing a high-stakes SEC investigation, you cannot afford to hire an attorney who has neither the experience nor expertise in understanding how the government builds and prosecutes its case. Federal securities enforcement is highly specialized, often moving quickly from informal inquiries to formal investigations and then to potentially life-changing enforcement actions. Successfully navigating these perilous waters requires a sophisticated, multi-faceted understanding of how the Securities and Exchange Commission evaluates evidence, assesses witness credibility, conducts its investigations, prosecutes and negotiates settlements.
At the Law Firm of David R. Chase, my decades of securities regulatory experience provide my clients with a distinct, strategic edge. In that vein, I am proud to announce that my law firm, alongside co-counsel, recently secured a staggering $19.95 million SEC whistleblower award. While this landmark win highlights my capability in the whistleblower arena, it also serves as a powerful asset for my SEC defense practice.
Why a Top Whistleblower Attorney Makes a Better SEC Defense Lawyer
The SEC’s whistleblower program has become the agency’s most potent weapon, driving massive, non-public investigations that can ensnare targets completely off guard. To build a strong shield, a defense lawyer must thus fully comprehend how the proverbial spear that initiates the investigation is thrown.
Securing a nearly $20 million client award requires an intricate understanding of how the SEC internally operates, as well as the ability to coordinate and proactively work with SEC enforcement staff over a multi-year period. The tremendous value to my defense clients is the unparalleled intelligence it provides. Securing a whistleblower award of this magnitude requires a detailed, intricate understanding of the SEC’s internal thought processes, investigative tactics, and enforcement priorities. As a former SEC prosecutor, whistleblower lawyer and white-collar defense attorney for over thirty-years, I leverage this 360-degree insider knowledge to identify and expose the flaws in the government’s prosecution theory to protect my clients from government overreach and to avoid or beat charges.
Defending Your Future with a Former SEC Prosecutor
Whether you are a corporate executive facing a Wells Notice, a fund manager navigating an insider trading investigation, or are facing allegations of market manipulation, including spoofing, the pressure is immense and can be overwhelming.
Bottom line: a successful SEC defense requires an attorney who deeply understands the agency. The landmark $19.95 million milestone proves my deep mastery of complex SEC protocols—and that exact elite-level legal intelligence is what I precisely deploy every day to safeguard my defense clients under heavy regulatory scrutiny.
