Dorsey’s large team of trial attorneys helps clients prevail in matters ranging from commercial disputes in civil court to government enforcement actions involving criminal allegations. Our deep experience includes matters involving the SEC, DOJ, FINRA, CFTC, CFPB, the OCC and state regulators. Dorsey represents emerging or growth companies facing investigations, and applies the specialized skill to bridge information gaps (in fact and law) with regulators. In doing so, Dorsey advocates for clients in investigations or government probes, which are made more complex by the increased scrutiny of FinTech firms by a patchwork quilt of federal and state agencies. As outside counsel, we permit our clients to focus on developing pioneering technologies in the new economy, while ensuring that government agencies’ investigations are resolved expeditiously and sensibly.
