Greg Lawrence is a Partner at Lawrence Law, LLC., a boutique law firm dedicated to solving legal issues for businesses and businesspeople. Over the course of his 25+ year career, Greg has dedicated his practice to representing individuals and corporations, both nationally and internationally, in all phases of complex civil litigation, white-collar prosecutions, and regulatory matters. His success in regulatory matters includes securing a rare defeat of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on behalf of a client in a high-profile securities fraud prosecution. In private securities litigation, his most noteworthy success includes securing an $80.8 million consequential damages award for a corporate client in a FINRA arbitration, which was the largest award of its kind in FINRA’s history and the largest reported consequential damages award or verdict in the United States.
From 1999 through 2005, Greg spearheaded high-profile investigations and litigation as Senior Counsel in the Division of Enforcement at the SEC. Most notably, he headed the SEC’s landmark investigation of AOL Time Warner, which resulted in a $300 million civil penalty-the second-largest penalty in history for financial reporting violations at the time.
Greg regularly speaks at professional functions and roundtables concerning securities laws and complex litigation issues. He is also an adjunct law professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, where he has taught Securities Regulation for over a decade. Greg currently serves as Secretary of the Business Law Section of the Maryland State Bar Association and Chair of the Business Law Section’s Committee on Securities Laws.
