If you are under SEC investigation for insider trading in Tampa, your career, finances, and reputation are potentially at grave risk. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission zealously investigates and prosecutes illegal insider trading. These non-public investigations are built using advanced market surveillance tools, trading data analytics, and, occasionally, cooperating witness testimony — often long before the subject is even aware of the investigation. When you are finally contacted by the SEC, it is thus critical to immediately secure knowledgeable and seasoned legal counsel.
David R. Chase, Esq., a nationally respected SEC defense attorney and former SEC enforcement lawyer, provides strategic, personalized legal defense for individuals and companies under SEC inquiry, including market manipulation, investment advisor fraud and insider trading. Mr. Chase, with an office in South Florida, represents clients throughout the country, including in Tampa’s growing financial, healthcare, and corporate sectors.
Insider trading involves an individual’s purchase or sale of securities based on material, nonpublic information (MNPI) in breach of a duty of trust or confidence. While commonly associated with corporate executives, anyone — employees, consultants, advisors, or personal contacts — can be held liable if they trade on or improperly share confidential information.
Occurs when a corporate insider trades on confidential company information or tips someone else who trades. Both parties may be liable if the tippee knew or should have known the information was improperly disclosed.
Applies when someone outside the company (such as an attorney, advisor, or vendor) uses confidential information legally obtained but then misused for personal trading gain in breach of a legal or confidentiality duty.
Tampa is one of Florida’s most economically diverse and fast-growing cities. With a strong presence in financial services, healthcare, insurance, real estate, and technology, Tampa is home to numerous publicly traded companies and high-level professionals. This mix of executive decision-making and investment activity makes the area a frequent focus for SEC oversight.
The SEC closely monitors trading activity tied to Florida-based entities, including those in Tampa, and relies on sophisticated tools to detect suspicious trades. The presence of wealth management firms, investment advisors, and corporate headquarters in the area further elevates the likelihood of enforcement activity.
If you’ve received an SEC subpoena or believe you may be under SEC investigation, now is the time to retain experienced legal counsel.
Insider trading cases require extensive knowledge of securities law, federal investigative procedures, and the unique, sometimes aggressive, tactics used by the SEC. David R. Chase brings this expertise to every case and to every one of his clients, having served on both sides, as an SEC enforcement attorney and as a national SEC defense lawyer.
If you’ve received a SEC Wells Notice, SEC subpoena, or suspect you’re the target of an SEC insider trading investigation, do not speak with investigators without legal representation. Even seemingly cooperative or innocent statements may irreparably harm your defense.
