A former senior official at the Department of Justice and Securities & Exchange Commission, Brian’s practice focuses on representing global corporations, financial institutions, and executives in criminal and civil regulatory enforcement matters, internal investigations, congressional inquiries, and trial and appellate litigation. He has broad experience representing clients in matters involving the DOJ, SEC, CFTC, CFPB, FTC, Congress, special counsels, and state attorneys general and securities regulators.
