Securities Industry Regulatory Defense
When you get "that call," call us.
In an era where federal and state regulators compete for headlines, and regulatory infractions are being treated as potential white collar crimes with unprecedented frequency, even the most careful clients may get a call or receive a subpoena, become subject to an investigation, or face a regulatory complaint. The lawyers of Hutner Klarish LLP represent broker-dealers, investment advisors and individual investors in litigation and investigations conducted by FINRA, the SEC, the NYSE and state regulators, on virtually every type of sales practice violation, insider trading matters, net capital violations, market manipulation and other enforcement matters, including
-Regulatory inquiries
-Regulatory investigations
-Responses to a Wells Notice
-Enforcement proceedings
-License hearings and applications
-Compliance examinations
Our securities lawyers have many years of experience and an outstanding record in handling matters initiated by securities industry regulators. We have developed an invaluable understanding of the tactics and strategies commonly employed by regulators and investigators and the best approach for responding. For example, our attorneys explain what you should do when receiving a Wells Notice. The circumstances of each matter dictate the best response, and we guide you every step of the way, ensuring that optimal decisions are being made while you continue to concentrate on your business.
Prior to forming Hutner Klarish LLP, Eric Hutner spent nine years at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, a leading U.S. law firm, seven years as Assistant General Counsel and then General Counsel of two NASD-member firms, and in 1999 returned to private practice when he founded Eric S. Hutner & Associates. These varied professional experiences have enabled Eric to take on the many roles of a classic councilor, and more, as he draws on his diverse legal experiences every day on behalf of a wide variety of clients. He has extensive experience litigating in federal and state courts, though he prefers finding solutions that preclude the need for full-blown litigation whenever possible. He has represented broker-dealers and their employees in over 100 securities industry arbitrations and in regulatory matters before the SEC, NASD, and other self-regulatory and regulatory bodies. Eric also serves from time-to-time as a FINRA / NASD arbitrator, not only to give something back, but so that he will better understand how to do his real job of representing clients in such matters. Eric regularly provides advice and counsel to corporate clients by analyzing the legal implications and needs of their business activities. One day it may be a private financing transaction, the next day it is the everyday general legal problems a company must address, and the day after that it is helping prepare for a corporate board of directors meeting. Clients turn to Eric to find the best way to achieve their business goals within the framework of all applicable legal requirements.
