We defend accounting firms, auditors, and their professionals in high‑stakes litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement proceedings worldwide. With deep knowledge of professional standards and proven trial success, we help these clients manage risk, protect their reputations, and resolve their most complex malpractice and regulatory matters.

Our clients include global, national, and regional accounting firms, as well as individual audit, consulting, and tax professionals. We have deep expertise in representing non‑U.S. member firms of global networks and have advised firms and individuals in more than a dozen countries.

We have served as lead counsel for accounting firms in numerous malpractice and securities cases, including several that involved potential exposure in excess of $1 billion. In many of those cases, we achieved early dismissals or favorable resolutions before or during trial. In several others, we proceeded to jury trials and obtained complete defense verdicts. While always prepared to take cases to verdict, we work closely with our clients to pursue the most advantageous resolution strategy, weighing financial exposure alongside reputational and long‑term institutional considerations.

In parallel with our litigation work, we regularly defend accounting firms and professionals in regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings. We guide our clients through investigations and enforcement matters before a broad range of authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), Department of Justice (DOJ), and numerous federal and state agencies and accountancy boards. Our team includes former senior SEC, PCAOB, and DOJ attorneys, providing clients with seasoned regulatory insight and credibility.

To address the full range of issues facing our clients, we routinely draw on the firm’s Appellate, Securities & Corporate Litigation, Special Matters & Government Investigations, and Bankruptcy & Insolvency Litigation practices, and we bring in industry‑specific resources when matters challenge an accounting firm’s work in a particular sector.

We also help our clients stay on top of the latest developments through our weekly Auditor Liability Bulletin, which tracks legal and regulatory issues affecting the profession.
