Enforcement 40 for 2013: Bradley J. Bondi

“Brad Bondi is the first choice among Boards of Directors and Audit Committees of the Fortune 500 when their company is faced with SEC or DOJ problems.  From his experience at the SEC and in private practice and from being a ‘good and honest guy,’ Bondi has earned the respect of scores at the SEC, including in the highest ranks, and throughout the private bar and has established the utmost trust of devoted clients that keep him on speed dial.  His peers and clients praise his tireless work ethic and his top-notch investigative skills, especially in complicated matters, and they say his creative strategies, his confident and calming demeanor, and his appreciation of the big picture in the corporate world make him the ‘go-to’ lawyer for crisis situations and bet-the-company enforcement actions.  Also known for his ‘razor-sharp questioning of witnesses,’ his ‘professorial knowledge of the federal securities laws,’ prolific writing, and ‘attention to every fact and detail,’  Bondi has the rare ability to cooperate fully and effectively with regulators and law enforcement when the situation dictates, or if necessary, battle it out to victory in court.”
