Mayer Brown’s Securities Litigation & Enforcement team is one of the world’s leading practices in this area, representing clients in an array of complex shareholder and securities-related matters. We defend issuers and their directors and officers in shareholder actions across the country.

Since the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act’s (“PSLRA”) passage in 1995, Mayer Brown’s Securities Litigation & Enforcement team has represented clients in more than 200 securities actions, and has an excellent track record of securing dismissals and other victories for our clients. To challenge those actions that survive beyond the pleading stage, our Securities Litigation & Enforcement practice fields a deep bench of highly experienced securities litigators, former federal prosecutors and other government officials, and seasoned class action trial lawyers with dozens of trials and arbitrations under their belts.

Our Global Investigations & White Collar Defense team represents corporations, boards of directors, board committees, public officials and executives in criminal, civil and regulatory enforcement proceedings worldwide.

Mayer Brown’s practice includes a diverse team of former federal prosecutors and government enforcement lawyers who know firsthand how government enforcement works and how to respond to the challenges and risks posed by criminal investigations and civil enforcement proceedings. We work closely with clients to ensure compliance with an ever-changing, increasingly global regulatory framework and to respond to investigations by regulators throughout the world. And when matters go to trial, we’re ready for that, too; we have collectively tried hundreds of federal criminal cases, both as defense counsel and as former prosecutors.
