Chapman and Cutler LLP's litigation department has
decades of experience in securities litigation, including cases
involving securities fraud claims under the Federal Securities Act of
1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Our practice group attorneys have frequently represented clients who have been targets of SEC enforcement proceedings.
Significant
experience and expertise in securities arbitrations are also strengths
of our department based on numerous representations of broker-dealers
in customer and member-to-member arbitration proceedings.

banking firm in a securities law class action in which the plaintiff

related litigation.
