Background on Firm

Bragança Law is based in Chicago, Illinois but represents clients all over the country. We defend individuals and businesses in SEC, FINRA, and other federal state regulatory investigations and litigation, represent whistleblowers, and handle business disputes. We help clients with:

• Responding to SEC and other Federal and State Governmental Agency Subpoenas
• Responding to FINRA 8210 Requests
• Defending businesses and individuals in litigation with the SEC, other Federal and State Governmental Agencies, and disputes with Receivers
• Filing SEC Whistleblower Tips
• Representing Individuals and Entities in Business Disputes

Bragança Law specializes in representing small businesses and individuals, often in coordination with other law firms who represent the primary targets of the investigation. Bragança Law stresses the importance of recognizing the financial realities for clients when the SEC and other governmental agencies can, when they choose, marshal almost unlimited resources to hire experts, hire trial consultants, and staff a case with numerous trial counsel. Because government attorneys have enormous discretion in determining whether to bring charges and what charges to bring, it is important at the outset to have a consistent strategy in place before responding to a subpoena or request for information. In numerous investigations, we have been able to obtain favorable results for clients by developing a consistent and credible strategy from the beginning.
