If you have just received a SEC subpoena, it is critically important to understand the basics – what a subpoena is, what is seeks, your legal rights and obligations in responding to it, and why it is necessary to be represented by competent SEC defense counsel in handling it.
What should I do if I receive a SEC subpoena?
Hire an experienced, knowledgeable SEC defense attorney to protect your interests before responding to the SEC. Speaking with the SEC and/or producing documents in response to a SEC subpoena (even if you think you have done nothing wrong), without legal representation can cause irreparable damage to your case. Don’t go at it alone — the stakes and potential consequences are simply too high.
