About

Prior to forming Hutner Klarish LLP in 2005, I spent nine years at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, a leading U.S. law firm, seven years as Assistant General Counsel and then General Counsel of two NASD/FINRA-member firms. In 1999, I returned to private practice, and since then have enjoyed my work in a small firm context that enables me and my colleagues to provide quality legal services combined with the care and attention best delivered by lawyers who have strong and enduring relationships with their clients. My varied professional experiences have enabled me to take on the many roles of a classic counselor, and more, and I draw on these experiences every day on behalf of a wide variety of clients. I regularly provide advice and counsel to corporate clients by analyzing the legal implications and needs of their business activities. One day it may be a private financing transaction or the acquisition of a company, the next day it is the everyday general legal problems a company must address, and the day after that it is helping prepare for a corporate board of directors meeting. I also have extensive experience litigating in federal and state courts, though finding solutions to client disputes in the most efficient way possible is what I strive hard to do. I have represented broker-dealers and their employees in well over 100 securities industry arbitrations and in regulatory matters before the SEC, FINRA, and other self-regulatory and regulatory bodies.
