A leading firm in this space is adding to its Securities Enforcement litigation team in Palo Alto.

Our AmLaw 100 client is known for its depth in securities enforcement and regulatory litigation, particularly at the intersection of government investigations, compliance, and complex disputes involving public companies and senior executives.

The Role

  • Represent clients in securities enforcement actions and regulatory investigations
  • Work directly on matters involving the SEC and other regulators
  • Advise on compliance issues tied to enforcement risk and disclosure obligations
  • Draft briefs, subpoenas, Wells submissions, and investigative materials
  • Collaborate with partners and senior associates across offices on sophisticated matters

  • A Palo Alto platform that integrates seamlessly with a broader national practice
  • Compensation range of $260,000 to $420,000, plus performance-based bonus and full benefits
