I am one of the few litigators to have actually worked in the financial services industry as an on and off-floor trader and brokerage executive.  I have extensive experience in negotiating complex structured transactions and in negotiations and arbitrations between brokerage firms, traders, and self-regulatory agencies as well as before the National Futures Association, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  I specialize in derivatives and other complex financial transactions, un-winding derivatives and understanding counter-party risk in general.

My boutique white collar and litigation firm specializes in the defense and representation of individuals, and firms, in all investigations and possible investigations before the SEC or any Federal agency in any financial or compliance matter, especially in the pre-indictment stage and in cases where there has been a restatement of earnings, a shareholder issue, alleged conflicts of interests or any type of investigation, negotiation or arbitration issue that needs damage control and outside counsel. 

I would very much appreciate the opportunity to talk with you and to discuss how my firm may be of service to you.

Thank you, Tamara de Silva (tamara@desilvalaw.com)
