Ted Kornobis is a partner in the firm’s White Collar Defense and Investigations practice group. He helps navigate clients through high-stakes government investigations and enforcement actions, defends complex civil and white collar criminal litigation, and conducts sensitive internal investigations for entities and their boards of directors.
The investigations and litigation that Ted handles often implicate potential regulatory, civil, or criminal exposure spanning a range of issues, including federal and state fraud statutes, federal securities laws, the False Claims Act (FCA), environmental laws, and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Ted has developed deep experience advising clients on matters involving the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FINRA, and components of the Department of Transportation, among many other agencies and regulators. While prepared to vigorously litigate against the government, Ted has also had repeated success dissuading government agencies from pursuing enforcement actions against his clients.
In addition to defending government enforcement actions, Ted’s litigation practice covers qui tam actions, securities class action and shareholder derivative lawsuits, agency rulemaking challenges, mutual fund litigation, and investment disputes. His clients include public and private companies across industries, investment companies and their associated service providers or boards, investment advisers, and broker-dealers.
