We are seeking a highly motivated attorney with strong investigative, analytical, and advocacy skills; sound judgment; and a sophisticated understanding of securities regulation, trading, and market structure.  The ideal candidate will have a proven ability to manage complex matters, navigate nuanced legal and factual issues, and thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

• 7+ years of legal experience, with significant securities enforcement, investigations, or broker-dealer regulatory experience strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of securities trading, market structure, and the federal securities laws.
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead and manage complex investigative and enforcement matters from inception through resolution or hearing.
• Excellent analytical, writing, advocacy, and interpersonal skills.
