Overview

Sidley is the market leader in securities enforcement defense and regulatory compliance advice across all securities regulators including the SEC and FINRA.  Our Securities Enforcement and Regulatory practice is regarded as one of the most experienced and prominent such teams in the country, is consistently top-ranked in Chambers USA, and was recently named “Compliance Group of the Year” (2024) by Law360 as well as “Law Firm of the Year” for Securities Regulation (2024 and 2020) and for Litigation – Regulatory Enforcement (2025 and 2023) by U.S. News – Best Lawyers.

A significant differentiator in Sidley’s practice from other law firms is our depth of experience in this space. While many law firms have teams with former regulators, Sidley has more than 50 FINRA and SEC alumni across the firm – many of whom held senior-level positions – with in-depth knowledge of the practical application of the technical rules governing compliance, how financial services firms implement them, and what regulators expect. 

These high-ranking officials include:

  • Acting Director, Associate Regional Director of the New York Regional Office, Division of Enforcement, SEC
  • Associate Directors of Enforcement, SEC
  • Assistant Director, Asset Management Unit, Division of Enforcement, SEC
  • Chief Corporate Governance Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance, SEC
  • Senior Vice President, Head of Market Regulation Enforcement and Litigation, FINRA
  • Vice President and Chief Counsel of Market Regulation, FINRA
  • Senior Special Regional Counsel, FINRA

With a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory landscape and a focus on collaboration and innovation, Sidley Austin is a trusted partner for broker-dealers and asset managers navigating the complexities of the global financial markets.
