Find a Lawyer. Find Answers.

Experienced Trial Counsel who have recently tried cases brought by the SEC, and a former SEC trial attorney, will share their practical insights on how to handle an SEC trial, from pre-trial motions all the way through verdict.  With the recent high profile rejection of a major SEC settlement, and public criticisms of the SEC’s lack of tenacity in pursuing claims, many lawyers expect the number of SEC cases that reach trial to increase substantially.  Experienced trial lawyers who have opposed the SEC before juries know that defending an SEC accounting fraud case, insider trading case, or similar cases presents special challenges. 

Hear what the trial teams have learned about techniques that work for direct and cross examinations, handling surprise witnesses, opening strategies, motions in limine, obtaining favorable evidentiary rulings, use of technology at trial, jury selection, “reading” the jury, crafting jury instructions, winning closings – all through the special lens of litigating against a determined and resourceful federal agency
