Gregory
Morvillo is best known for his work shaping insider trading law. His victory
before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the landmark insider trading case
United States v. Newman propelled him to
being one of the most sought-after insider trading defense attorneys in the
country.
He
represented Anthony Chiasson in the criminal, appellate and regulatory actions
in the above referenced case, all of which resulted in total exoneration. His
work for Chiasson led Law360 to note
that he “went toe-to-toe with hard-charging U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to win
a landmark Second Circuit decision … that raised the bar for prosecuting
individuals who are one or more layers removed from sources of confidential
information and overturned the conviction of his hedge fund manager client.”
In
the wake of Newman, Greg has become immersed in
insider trading and securities fraud cases. He has tried multiple insider trading/securities
fraud cases to verdict over the past several years, and has taken on multiple
appeals for clients in this ever-evolving area of the law. He also regularly
advises public companies and privately-owned hedge funds on their compliance
issues and methods to train/educate employees to avoid running afoul of the
law. He has written and spoken on insider trading and corporate best practices
dozens of times in the past few years.
Beyond
his insider trading work, Greg has represented both individuals and
corporations in dozens of federal and state court actions and in government
investigations. He has litigated against United States Attorneys’ Offices
across the country, the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., numerous regional
offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York State Attorney
General’s Office, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the New York Stock
Exchange, FINRA, and other government and self-regulatory organizations. He has
also handled appeals in the Second, Third, Fourth, and Tenth Circuit Courts of
Appeals. He routinely advises clients on
criminal law, securities, regulatory, civil, administrative and corporate
governance issues.
Greg
has been consistently honored by being named to the International
Who’s Who of Business Crime Defence Lawyers in 2012, 2013, 2014, and
2015. He has twice been named to InterContinental Finance
Magazine’s Leading Lawyer 500 list,
which rates the top 500 lawyers in the world today.
