With a strong offering on East and West coasts, including many experienced trial lawyers and former federal prosecutors, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. is well-positioned to provide a robust defense to an issuer-focused client base across a wide range of securities fraud and shareholder derivative actions, as well as in accompanying regulatory investigations/enforcement actions. Leveraging the skills gleaned through private practice and during his tenure in-house at the SEC, San Francisco-based partner Sean Prosser provides a very adaptable service to companies both in relation to private litigation, as well as standalone and accompanying regulatory probes. Prosser also regularly acts for executives accused of securities law fraud, including Section 16 short-swing violations, as well as for directors and officers in shareholder derivative litigation before the Delaware Court of Chancery. Boston-based Jack Sylvia has a particularly strong reputation representing life sciences/biotech companies facing down securities fraud class actions and co-heads the team alongside seasoned first-chair New York-based litigator Douglas Baumstein.
