Greg Lawrence Email & Phone Number

I dedicate my practice to representing individuals and corporations, nationally and internationally, in all phases of complex civil litigation, white collar prosecutions, and regulatory enforcement proceedings, including those involving allegations of financial fraud, insider trading, accounting and disclosure irregularities, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and market manipulation. I have achieved notable and landmark victories for clients in these matters. My success in regulatory enforcement proceedings includes a rare defeat of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of a client in a high-profile securities fraud prosecution that was widely reported in the press. My success in private securities litigation includes securing an $80.8 million consequential damages award for a client in a FINRA arbitration, which was the largest such award in FINRA’s history and the largest reported consequential damages award or verdict in the United States.Prior to going into private practice in 2005, I spearheaded high-profile investigations and litigation in the Enforcement Division of the SEC for six years. Most notably, I headed the SEC’s landmark investigation and prosecution of AOL Time Warner, which resulted in a $300 million civil penalty–the second largest penalty in history for financial reporting violations at the time. In recognition for my achievements on behalf of clients, I have been designated a “Litigation Star” by Benchmark Litigation and AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell. I regularly speak at professional functions and roundtables concerning securities law and complex litigation issues. I also serve as an Adjunct Law Professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, where I teach Securities Regulation, and I am Vice Chair of the Maryland State Bar Association’s Committee on Securities Law.Disclaimer: Each case is different. Prior success provides no guarantee of future outcomes.

Listed skills include Civil Litigation, Securities Regulation, Litigation, Trials, and 21 others.
