Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP

Morris, Manning & Martin Partner Helps Navigate Complex SEC Investigations and Enforcement Actions
Help is on the way for companies and individuals trying to wade through complex Securities and Exchange Commission issues and regulations. In an authoritative new book, Inside the Minds: The Practice of Corporate Law: Leading Lawyers on Best Practices for Representing Public and Private Companies, Morris, Manning & Martin partner Ross Albert was chosen to author a chapter on navigating the rough waters of SEC investigations and enforcement actions.

The volume, published by Aspatore Books, is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on best practices for compliance with the most common corporate laws and regulations that companies face today. Albert’s selection as an author means that he has been recognized as a leader in corporate law. His chapter will accompany chapters authored by some of the most highly regarded corporate and transactional attorneys in the world, including Dennis Block, Steven Block, Clarkson Collins, Gary LeClair and Alan Reische.

Albert notes that as the SEC cracks down on corporate fraud in light of recent scandals, it is deploying more aggressive tactics to uncover unlawful practices. Companies and individuals in today’s markets may be conscious of the need to comply with stricter codes, but are often unprepared to deal with aggressive SEC investigative measures and litigation tactics. Albert’s chapter, “Defending SEC Investigations and Enforcement Actions,” sheds light from a legal standpoint on how companies and individuals can properly handle SEC investigations and protect themselves.

Using his experience as a veteran attorney in cases responding to SEC enforcement actions, investigations and regulatory inquiries, Albert provides a candid look at SEC tactics. His focus is on translating complex issues into practical reference points. Albert also draws on his wealth of regulatory and prosecutorial experience (which includes tenure as a Senior Special Council with the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, Legal Counsel to former SEC Commissioner Norman Johnson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney with the Atlanta U.S. Attorney’s Office) to offer firsthand, expert insights into the less obvious and often unpublicized issues surrounding SEC investigations.
