With decades of experience in the public and private sectors, including more than a dozen years of trying complex, high-profile cases for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Kisslinger steers clients through high-stakes regulatory enforcement actions, internal and governmental investigations, and securities and corporate governance matters. He also is a seasoned commercial litigator, having served as lead trial counsel in numerous federal and state jury and bench trials, appeals, and administrative hearings.
Paul offers sophisticated guidance with a collaborative and responsive approach. He is comfortable managing complex multiparty matters and reporting to boards of directors, audit committees, executives, and principals of all types of business organizations, from large public corporations and financial institutions to small privately held corporations, private equity funds, and registered broker-dealers and investment advisers.
My goal in handling governmental enforcement actions and private disputes is to be calm, measured, flexible, and strategic when appropriate, and strong and unyielding when necessary.
