Shustak Reynolds & Partners’ Securities Practice Group has hundreds of years of combined experience in securities regulatory and compliance matters. We represent broker-dealers, investment advisers, registered persons and others in defense of SEC and FINRA examinations, investigations and disciplinary and enforcement matters; in various compliance and risk management projects; and with internal investigations. In this practice area, three overarching factors and trends drive strategy for the vast majority of matters: first, the virtually complete linkage between civil claims and regulatory investigations; second, the continuing and increasingly effective cooperation amongst all securities regulators and criminal authorities, particularly the various U.S. Attorneys’ offices around the country; and, third, the increasing insistence of securities regulators on fundamental and sustainable integrity of the systems and processes of regulated entities. Thus, compliance and risk management, on the one hand, and regulatory/enforcement defense, on the other, are inextricably linked, now more than ever; well-designed and effective internal investigations often provide a key tool to improve client outcomes in this environment.
