Cory’s experience and training span the related areas of securities law and regulation, finance and investment, real estate, and financial accounting.

Lionel André is the advocate companies and executives turn to when the SEC, DOJ, CFTC, or another enforcement agency launches an investigation, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With more than three decades inside the federal government—including senior leadership roles at both the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Securities and Exchange Commission—Lionel brings an insider’s understanding of how prosecutors and investigators think, negotiate, and decide cases. He knows their strategies because he spent years shaping them.
