I engaged Tod Sawicki at Alston & Bird during a high-stakes SEC inquiry that threatened to escalate into a formal enforcement action. His four decades of experience, particularly in securities and capital markets law, were immediately evident. He provided a masterclass in navigating the complexities of the investigation, blending his deep knowledge of securities regulations with his formidable reputation as a first-chair trial lawyer. This dual expertise allowed him to credibly position our defense for potential litigation while skillfully negotiating a favorable resolution with the regulators before it reached that stage. His recognition in securities litigation is well-deserved. While his strategic guidance was invaluable, communication from his support team regarding administrative updates could occasionally lag. That said, for the core legal work, Tod's counsel was precise, strategic, and ultimately successful. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any serious securities or executive liability matter.
