Ted Kornobis is a partner in the firm’s White Collar Defense and Investigations
practice group. He helps navigate clients through high-stakes government
investigations and enforcement actions, defends complex civil and white collar
criminal litigation, and conducts sensitive internal investigations for entities and
their boards of directors.
The investigations and litigation that Ted handles often implicate potential
regulatory, civil, or criminal exposure spanning a range of issues, including
federal and state fraud statutes, the federal securities laws, the False Claims Act
(FCA), environmental and energy laws, and anti-money laundering (AML)
regulations.
Ted has developed deep experience advising clients on matters involving the United
States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
FINRA, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), components of the Department
of Transportation, and many other agencies and regulators. While prepared to
vigorously litigate against the government, Ted has also had repeated success
dissuading government agencies from pursuing enforcement actions against his
clients.
In addition to defending government enforcement actions, Ted’s litigation
practice covers qui tam actions, securities class action and shareholder derivative
lawsuits, agency rulemaking challenges, mutual fund litigation, and investment
disputes. His clients include public and private companies across industries,
investment companies and their associated service providers or boards, investment
advisers, and broker-dealers.
