Stephen Crimmins Biography :

Experience:

Steve Crimmins is a litigator and trial attorney with more than 25 years of practice in securities and other complex commercial litigation. Steve focuses his practice on enforcement investigations and litigation conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other securities regulators, as well as on the defense of private securities litigation. He also leads internal investigations and counsels on regulatory compliance, corporate governance and other SEC-related issues.

Steve practiced with the SEC for 14 years, eight of which were in senior management. As the Deputy Chief Litigation Counsel of the SEC's Enforcement Division in Washington from 1993 until 2001, he was one of 11 members of the Senior Executive Service at division headquarters. Steve co-managed a unit of 25 first-chair trial attorneys representing the SEC in hundreds of securities cases in the federal courts and in administrative proceedings. He also consulted on SEC investigations, participated actively in the agency's "Wells process" that resolves many matters before litigation, and served as an adviser on enforcement matters to SEC attorneys in the agency's regional offices. Steve joined the SEC as a trial attorney in 1987. He continued to litigate and try cases for the agency after his promotion to senior management in 1993.

Since returning to private practice in 2001, Steve has represented public companies, directors, officers (including CEOs and CFOs), financial services firms and their professionals, "Big Four" accountants and others in a wide range of securities cases. He has successfully defended clients in SEC matters charging financial reporting violations, insider trading, market manipulation, and violations of rules governing broker-dealers, investment advisers and investment companies. Most recently, Steve has been involved in investigations of alleged option backdating at public companies.

In 2003, at the suggestion of the SEC's Chicago office, the federal court in Chicago appointed Steve to conduct an independent investigation of a multinational corporation charged by the SEC with fraud and reporting violations. Steve's public report to the court and the SEC concerning that investigation has been used as a teaching vehicle at major law schools.

Prior to joining Mayer Brown in 2006, Steve practiced with law firms in Washington and New York. He served with the Securities and Exchange Commission between 1987 and 2001.
