Covington represents clients in high-stakes securities and derivatives litigation and enforcement matters. Our litigators have extensive experience handling cases in courtrooms across the country, before arbitration panels, and in bankruptcy court. The firm’s deep bench of former prosecutors and enforcement officials includes a former associate director of the SEC Enforcement Division, a former head of the SEC San Francisco District Office, and former federal prosecutors in California, New York, and Washington who prosecuted criminal securities fraud cases.
Our team is widely recognized for litigating and winning high-profile securities cases and for devising creative legal strategies to resolve matters long before they draw public scrutiny.
Covington represents companies and individuals in every major area, including complex securities and other instruments, shareholder class actions and derivative litigation, and transactional disputes.
Our securities and commodities enforcement attorneys regularly represent clients before the SEC, the CFTC, FINRA, regional exchanges, and state securities regulators.
We are well equipped to handle regulatory investigations that are accompanied by parallel criminal investigations. Our securities enforcement team works hand-in-hand with our broader White Collar and Investigations practice to defend clients in such parallel investigations and/or multi-jurisdictional investigations.
Our lawyers conduct internal investigations of alleged misconduct, design corporate compliance programs, and conduct compliance training at many of the world's largest corporations.
