WilmerHale's Los Angeles office opened in October 2007. The Los Angeles office strengthens and expands the firm’s preeminent securities enforcement, securities litigation, and white collar defense practices in southern California and throughout the western United States.

WilmerHale’s securities lawyers bring unparalleled experience and insight to matters involving the securities markets. The Los Angeles office is anchored by Randall Lee, the former Regional Director of the Pacific Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and before that an Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles. With over 200 lawyers, the firm’s securities practice is among the largest and most diverse of its kind and includes former high-level officials from the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, the CFTC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the FSA of the United Kingdom.   

We represent public companies, financial services firms, accounting firms, and corporate officers and directors in SEC and other regulatory and law enforcement investigations and related litigation. We conduct internal investigations on behalf of management and boards of directors. We also provide sophisticated regulatory compliance advice and corporate governance counseling to companies and other financial market participants, and we are highly regarded for our representation of investment management and broker-dealer businesses.

The Los Angeles office will also serve as the southern California base for WilmerHale’s renowned intellectual property litigation practice, which is consistently ranked as one of the top IP litigation practices in the United States, and our corporate and transactional practice, which is widely recognized for the representation of technology and life science companies at every stage of their growth, from startups to mature public companies. The Los Angeles office also strengthens the firm’s ability to provide its nationally recognized regulatory and public policy expertise, which draws upon more than 100 lawyers who have held high-level government positions, to clients in the western United States.

The Los Angeles office benefits from the resources, expertise, and experience of a global firm of more than 1000 lawyers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia who practice at the very top of the legal profession. We are able to work in teams with lawyers from other offices to ensure that we draw seamlessly upon the expertise and resources of the entire firm in order to provide our clients with the highest quality legal representation.
