Brad has been described by the media as a “high-powered litigator,” a reputation earned through his decades of experience leading some of the most complex and high-stakes matters in the country. Law360 recognized Brad as a national MVP in white collar in 2022, 2021 and 2019, Benchmark Litigation lists him as “national practice area star” in both securities and white collar, and The National Law Journal named him a Washington D.C. Trailblazer in 2020 to recognize his significant contributions to the field of securities law. The National Association of Corporate Directors has twice honored him for his work in the board room. Securities Docket describes Brad as “the first choice among Boards of Directors and Audit Committees of the Fortune 500 when their company is faced with SEC or DOJ problems.” The American Lawyer quotes a source saying, “Brad walks into a room, and he has credibility” referencing his “brand and reputation.” LawDragon writes: “Brad Bondi has earned the reputation of being the lawyer to see in Washington, D.C. if you face the most challenging legal problems … Admired for his strategic vision, fierce competitiveness and dedication to his clients, Bondi has obtained significant victories against the most daunting odds.”

Brad has two decades of experience representing and counseling companies, financial institutions, boards of directors, audit committees and senior executives in a broad range of investigations and complex business litigation, with an emphasis on securities and financial regulations and corporate governance matters. He previously held senior positions in government, including at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Brad leads the representation of significant legal matters including major litigation in trial and appellate courts and in arbitrations (securities litigation, derivative litigation and complex business litigation), SEC, FINRA and PCAOB enforcement matters, criminal inquiries (including FCPA, DOJ and USAO matters), and various investigations (including independent investigations overseen by audit committees and special committees).

Brad regularly serves as a senior adviser to boards of directors, audit committees, special committees, independent directors and senior executives during corporate crises, significant transactions and governance challenges. He has guided boards and board committees through the most extraordinary corporate events, including independent investigations, defense of derivative lawsuits against directors and officers, class actions, accounting irregularities and Restatements, auditor disputes, hostile takeover attempts and activist shareholders, mergers and acquisitions disputes, cyber intrusions and data breaches, and investigations of alleged misconduct by executives.

He also oversees complex civil and criminal litigation, such as securities litigation, corporate control litigation, commercial litigation, contractual disputes, arbitrations and criminal proceedings. Brad has litigated significant legal disputes in various state and federal courts, including serving as counsel of record for successful briefs before the Supreme Court of the United States: for an investment bank in Credit Suisse First Boston Ltd. v. Billing (interpreting securities laws as implicitly precluding the application of antitrust laws in the IPO process) and for an amicus curiae in Yates v. United States (construing Sarbanes-Oxley’s criminal provision for document destruction, 18 U.S.C. § 1519). He also served as counsel of record for an amicus curiae brief before the Supreme Court of the United States in Salman v.
