San Diego Insider Trade Attorney

Experienced Southern California Insider Trading Defense Lawyer

Insider trade, or insider trading, is a complex area of law with many potentially gray areas. Insider trading is meant to protect consumers and investors from investment and securities fraud and is meant to stop people who have inside or confidential information about companies or stock to benefit financially from information that is not publically available. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) typically governs all issues regarding insider trading. With any insider trade charge, the intent of the defendant must be proven. The defendant must have had the intention of personally profiting from trading; he or she must have willfully used confidential or private information to buy or sell, or advise others to buy and sell stocks.

James N. Dicks is a San Diego criminal defense attorney who has experience in dealing with insider trading charges and building successful defenses. As with any federal offense, federal agencies will investigate and prosecute suspected insider trade. Federal resources are vast, and often a federal law enforcement agency will spend months or even years investigating a person or company. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence and harsh penalties, attorney James Dicks is able to provide aggressive litigation and negotiation for his clients.

Preventing Insider Trade Charges

If you are involved in a company, as an employee or as a CEO, and you have information that may qualify as insider trading if you use it in the stock market, it is important to consult a lawyer who can advise you as to what your options are. It may be that the information you have will not qualify as insider trading or that you can legally buy or sell stock even with the knowledge you have. By working with a skilled lawyer, you can ensure that you do not break the law or face charges.

In addition, if you are under investigation for insider trade, your attorney may be able to help you so charges are never formally filed. A skilled attorney may be able to negotiate a settlement or take other measures to ensure charges are not filed – keeping your reputation intact.
