Accounting questions: If the SEC or a shareholder group is alleging accounting irregularities, our lawyers can take action now to make sure your rights are protected. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has imposed significant new supervisory and reporting duties on management and boards of directors in a host of new federal securities reporting areas. Gallion & Spielvogel’s attorneys can be of great assistance to your company in ensuring that the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are complied with.
Product testing questions: Alleged irregularities in testing procedures can result in criminal and/or regulatory investigations. If the test data involved a product sold to the federal government, there could be charges under the False Claims Act.
Embezzlement allegations: If someone in your company is suspected of a misuse or misappropriation of funds, that individual and the company should have separate legal counsel.
Fraud allegations: Expense account fraud and accounting fraud can lead to individual and company criminal charges. Alleged misrepresentation to consumers, shareholders, and the government can lead to civil and/or criminal charges and penalties.
