Accountants Liability
Sidley has significant experience representing accounting and professional services firms in litigation and regulatory matters, as well as government investigations. Sidley regularly represents three of the “Big Four” and one of the next largest domestic firms in
professional liability litigation,
securities litigation and
government and regulatory investigations.
With highly skilled and experienced lawyers in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., we are able to provide efficient and comprehensive assistance in matters arising all over the country. Each of the more than two dozen partners in our Accountants Liability practice has many years of experience regularly representing accounting firms and individual accountants, and our lawyers have represented accountants and accounting firms in matters in at least 38 states. In addition, we have extensive
international experience, representing foreign firms in matters pending within the United States and assisting those clients in matters pending outside the United States.
Lawyers from our various offices work together to provide seamless client service, particularly when accounting firms face broader issues that affect several of their clients or that span multiple jurisdictions. For example, our lawyers recently have assisted clients in widespread inquiries into stock option dating practices. We also have assisted our clients in responding to issues broadly affecting an entire industry, such as the sub-prime mortgage lending industry.
