Litigation

Position

Laura's practice involves federal and state civil (commercial) litigation and arbitrations throughout the United States, with an emphasis on complex regulatory and fiduciary issues. She has extensive experience in disputes involving shareholder and investor rights and relationships; application of the business judgment rule; and fiduciary disclosures, compliance and enforcement issues (often in a securities law setting). A significant component of her practice consists of counseling clients on how to minimize or avoid litigation exposure both contractually and through proactive conduct. As an integral part of her practice, Laura regularly conducts internal investigations, a number of which have addressed sanctions, FCPA and FCA matters. She has written and provided implementation advice and training for anti-bribery/anti-corruption policies that also address third-party due diligence issues.

Laura has frequently arbitrated in many different forums, including the American Arbitration Association, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange and specially tailored entities. Internationally, she has arbitrated under the auspices of ICSID, the London Court of International Arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce and similar organizations.
