Can an SEC Defense Lawyer Respond to a Wells Notice Before Charges Are Filed?
Yes. A Wells Notice gives you an opportunity to respond before the SEC decides whether to bring an enforcement action.
A well-prepared Wells submission can address factual errors, legal defenses, lack of intent, weaknesses in the evidence, and reasons the proposed action should not move forward.
Matthew Cohan and his team review the SEC’s allegations, analyze the records, and prepare a targeted response based on the facts of the case. They also evaluate settlement issues and the potential consequences of an enforcement action. A Wells Notice is a serious stage of an SEC investigation, so prompt legal guidance is important.
