Insider Trading; Officers' & Directors' Liability
When a west-coast-based communications company with business operations throughout the U.S. and the Far East was suspected of possible insider trading by certain officers and directors of the company, the company's Corporate Counsel hired the Firm to conduct an impartial investigation into the allegations against the company. The Firm interviewed all the corporate directors and officers and reviewed all their stock trades and brokers' records, and prepared a detailed report of its findings and conclusions, resulting in the dismissal of the accusation and avoiding an investigation by the SEC.
