Let’s face it, litigating is hard enough without having to digest the Idiot’s Guide to Crypto in three unbillable hours before fielding a call from a prospective client wishing to report a fraud involving secondary market crypto currency yield farming or the rigging of a valuation model being used by a hedge fund or broker-dealer to price digital options, all of which is being explained to you by your client, a former physics major. As an attorney, if you’re lucky, you might have some hazy recollections from that Corporate Law class in law school as to what a put or call option is, but stochastic calculus, digital options and “spoofing”? No thanks. For those reasons employment attorneys may be hesitant to handle complex Dodd-Frank or SOX matters. That’s understandable. It is hard enough to litigate ordinary employment claims, and handling SOX, Dodd-Frank and AMLA claims can quickly become difficult and time intensive when in addition to the usual challenges one is forced to parse and digest financial and quantitative concepts and related documents that may be at the heart of a client’s litigation.
My practice offers a range of economically efficient services to attorneys litigating claims related to securities and commodities malfeasance including: whistleblower tip drafting for the SEC, CFTC and FinCen, case evaluations, formulation of pleadings, formulation of discovery requests and technical document review. My practice also provides expert witness sourcing services, not to generic “economic experts” who are costly and may ultimately be excluded due to Daubert factors or impeached due to their prior and extensive track record of in-court testimony, but rather to experts who have work experience as regulators, traders and financial analysts and have directly applicable industry experience tailored to the facts of your case.
