Advice, Testimony & Representaion
Services include legal advice, expert testimony, internal investigations and representation in financial regulatory enforcement matters, complex disputes, and matters at the frontier of technology and financial crime. Wherever the legal and financial fields come together.
Financial Regulatory
Regulatory enforcement & strategy
When financial supervisors or a public prosecutor opens an inquiry, the response defines the outcome. We advise on strategy, assess exposure, and where needed, conduct or validate internal investigations. We assist and represent corporations and financial companies in administrative proceedings against authorities.
Compliance & preventive advisory
Financial regulatory, market abuse, disclosure obligations, AML frameworks, pre-transaction advice, boardroom counseling, and in-house training for lawyers, compliance officers, and board members. The most valuable work is often the work that prevents a crisis.
Dispute Resolution
Complex disputes
Disputes in the financial markets are often complex. Shareholder claims, market abuse, securities litigation, disclosure violations, accounting fraud allegations, and benchmark disputes require both legal precision and economic understanding. We act as counsel and lead investigations.
Expert opinions & witness testimony
We provide expert reports, opinions and testimony for courts and regulators across jurisdictions. Our opinions are built on deep expertise, both legal rigour and where needed economic analysis. Law firms, companies and government agencies turn to us for advice.
White Collar Crime
Criminal & administrative defence
Market manipulation, insider trading, fraud, corruption, money laundering. Often criminal investigations go together with administrative and civil proceedings. That requires a smart approach and an integrated understanding. We build arguments on a combination of legal analysis and economic data.
Emerging technology & crime
Neemley has a specific expertise in emerging technology and enforcement. Both in practice and in academia. Crypto crime, online fraud and abuse of artificial intelligence. The instruments are new. The principles of crime and market integrity are not.
