NYC SEC Defense Lawyers

If you’re facing SEC charges, you’re terrified – and you should be. The Securities and Exchange Commission has unlimited resources, and they’re coming after you – and now you’re on notice. This is no laughing matter, and it’s nothing something which will go away. The SEC has unlimited resources, and a long memory.. In 2024, the SEC obtained $8.2 billion in financial remedies – the highest amount in SEC history.

Most importantly, you need to understand something: The federal conviction rate exceeds 93%. Without proper legal help, you’re likely to become part of that statistic and face civil and criminal penalties. At Spodek Law Group – we understand that, and take this very seriously. Our goal is to provide you the best possible legal representation at all stages of your case.

Why You Need a Premier NYC SEC Defense Attorney – ASAP

You’re researching lawyers online instead of calling one. Every hour matters in federal cases. The SEC filed 583 total enforcement actions in fiscal year 2024, and they’ve been watching you longer than you think. Here’s the truth: by the time you receive a target letter from the SEC, they’ve been investigating for months, if not years.

Our attorneys, know how to fight, and win. We are one of the few law firms in the country have a completely online digital portal – which means we can start working on your case immediately.

His work has resulted in him being featured on major media outlets, like NY Post, Newsweek, Fox 5, Business Insider, Bloomberg, and others. In 2022, Netflix released a special TV series about one of Todd’s clients: Anna Delvey.

Many people who are dealing with a potential SEC case think this is like state court. It’s not – not at all, and if you treat it like a simple state case – you’re likely to go to jail. Federal prosecutors have a 95% conviction rate, and they don’t take on a case unless they think they can win. Unlike other criminal defense law firm firms who are more focused on their relationship with prosecutors – we focus on winning your case and only that. Many law firms are ‘mills’ and take on every single client – they don’t care if they win or lose your case. We don’t. We focus on only working with clients who we can truly help.

The Consequences You’re Facing

You don’t understand federal sentencing guidelines – very few people do. Most people don’t know mandatory minimums. This knowledge gap will hurt you, and it’s likely you’ll never be able to get out of this situation on your own. You can’t just Google your way out of this legal issue. The SEC’s recent enforcement actions have resulted in massive penalties: – $600 million in civil penalties for recordkeeping violations against more than 70 firms – $18 million civil penalty against J.P. Morgan – the largest penalty on record for whistleblower violations – Marketing rule violations resulting in charges against more than a dozen investment advisers

HeWeargued that these penalties are excessive – but the SEC doesn’t care. They have over 50 years of combined experience crushing defendants.

Understanding SEC Enforcement Actions

The Division of Enforcement is a steadfast department on the beat, following the facts, and the law wherever they lead. In fiscal year 2024, market participants self-reported or remediated securities law violations – but that didn’t stop the SEC from imposing penalties. You’re facing 10-20 years for intense crimes. That’s not speculation. That’s the sentencing guideline for your charge.

Most people in your situation try to explain their way out. That’s how they end up convicted. The SEC charged multiple entities for: – False and misleading statements about AI usage – Cybersecurity disclosure failures – Off-channel communications on WhatsApp and personal devices – Violations of the Marketing Rule

Our premier defense team knows how to challenge these charges. We have handled some of the toughest cases and have come out on top. Todd Spodek – a prominent attorney, represented Anna Delvey, known as Anna Sorokin – and won national recognition for his innovative defense strategies.

Defense Strategies That Actually Work

Unfortunately, most attorneys don’t understand SEC enforcement – and what happens after. Our top rated legal team develops customized defense strategies based on your specific situation. We understand the recent Supreme Court decision in SEC v. Jarkesy – which means the SEC can’t use in-house administrative law judges to seek civil penalties for fraud anymore. This is crucial for your defense strategy. Many law firms are not up to date on the latest case law, and as a result that impacts your case.

When a defendant faces charges, you need someone who gets it. Our attorneys leverage every possible defense: – Challenging the SEC’s investigative methods – Disputing materiality of alleged violations – Negotiating for reduced penalties through cooperation – Fighting jurisdiction and procedural issues

The prosecutors – and the DOJ – are watching every move you make. That’s where we come in. Our white-glove service ensures you’re protected at every stage. We’re available 24/7 because federal investigations don’t stop for weekends.

The Cooperation Credit Myth

You’ve heard about cooperation credit. Here’s what they don’t tell you: The SEC approved resolutions imposing reduced civil penalties – but only for companies with substantial cooperation. Three firms that self-reported off-channel communications received penalties ranging from $400,000 to $1.6 million, While others paid tens of millions.

Our premier attorneys know when cooperation helps – and when it hurts. We’ve seen clients destroy their cases by cooperating without proper representation. Don’t make that mistake.
