Securities Fraud Attorney
Securities violations can have far-reaching effects on companies and individuals.
When the government investigates suspected securities violations, the damage can be widespread. False certifications or unfulfilled reporting requirements (including Sarbanes-Oxley violations) can damage a company and the individuals involved. From the CEO and board members to department heads and accountants, there can be a risk of criminal prosecution.
Other securities fraud cases involve theft from investors, insider trading, providing false information to auditors and manipulating stock prices. Early involvement by an experienced securities fraud attorney who understands complex financial data can protect your rights in an investigation.
- If you have been personally targeted in an investigation, you are at risk for criminal prosecution and would be wise to have your own lawyer.
- Is the company accused of providing information for the purpose of inflating the stock price? Are executives suspected of insider trading?
- False certifications of a company’s financial status can violate Sarbanes-Oxley and put individuals at risk of criminal prosecution.
- Did false information lead investors to buy stock in the company?
