Who Should I Contact If an SEC Investigation Could Result in an Industry Bar?

Contact an SEC defense lawyer immediately. An industry bar may prevent you from working as an officer or director of a public company or participating in the securities industry. It can affect your career, professional reputation, earning ability, and future business opportunities long after the investigation ends.

The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan represents individuals and businesses facing SEC investigations, securities fraud allegations, and regulatory enforcement actions.

Challenging an overstated loss figure helps your attorney argue for an accurate sentencing calculation.
