Will has represented clients in numerous insider trading investigations.  These cases involve the application of federal rules that govern investments and detailed investigations by sophisticated authorities.  Those rules prohibit people from trading in securities with secret information.  It applies to people who have this information because of their own role in a relevant company, and it also applies to people who get this information from someone else with a connection to the company. 

These allegations are serious and can lead to severe criminal and financial penalties.  It is crucial for anyone who receives a subpoena, a letter, or a personal visit from the government about an insider trading investigation to retain an experienced lawyer.

Will uses his experience as a litigator to advise clients on how to respond to insider trading allegations.  He also uses his experience in previous investigations to help clients develop a strategy for obtaining the best outcome in an insider trading investigation.

In particular, Will has defended clients accused of insider trading in federal courts in New York and Washington, D.C., and helped persuade prosecutors to reach favorable results.  He has:

• Persuaded a court to sentence a defendant to less than what prosecutors recommended.

• Persuaded the SEC not to pursue additional fines and penalties from a defendant who was already facing criminal prosecution.
