When our company faced an unexpected SEC inquiry, the situation felt overwhelming. We were referred to Sahar Maali at Wilmer Hale, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting in her Los Angeles office, Sahar’s deep knowledge of securities litigation was immediately apparent. She meticulously explained the process, our potential exposures, and crafted a strategic response that was both thorough and proportionate. Her background from UC Berkeley School of Law and her specific recognition in Litigation - Securities gave our board immense confidence. What truly set Sahar apart was her ability to distill complex regulatory concepts into clear, actionable advice for our non-legal team. She was always accessible, prepared, and demonstrated a calm, commanding professionalism that de-escalated the entire situation. Her work resulted in a swift and favorable resolution that allowed us to move forward without disruption. Sahar is not just a brilliant attorney; she is a strategic partner who protects her clients with remarkable skill and dedication. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any matter involving white-collar or securities defense.
