My practice focuses on investigations and litigation involving securities matters.
In August 2013, I was honored by Latin Lawyer magazine as a leading anti-corruption lawyer and credited with combining my experience at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission with his Spanish language skills in investigations in Latin America.
I served at the SEC's Los Angeles Regional Office as a staff attorney for almost four years. During my tenure with the SEC, I investigated numerous cases, with many resulting in enforcement actions, involving allegations of financial fraud, disclosure fraud, market timing, offering fraud, and misconduct by independent accountants. I also worked closely with federal prosecutors and regulators from other agencies.
I left the SEC in 2007 and rejoined O'Melveny, where I practiced for four years before accepting a position as General Counsel of an investment adviser client.
I then returned to O'Melveny again in late 2012.
