A consummate professional who delivers exceptional results

Our company faced a complex SEC inquiry that threatened to escalate into a significant enforcement action. We engaged Randy Bodner at Ropes & Gray, and it was the best decision we could have made. With his 38 years of deep experience in securities regulation and SEC enforcement, Randy immediately identified the core issues and developed a strategic, pragmatic defense. His command of the nuanced landscape of capital markets law was evident in every interaction. Randy’s guidance was not just legally sound but also commercially astute, always keeping our business objectives in clear focus. The outcome was a favorable resolution that avoided litigation and minimized disruption, a testament to his skill and credibility with regulators. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Securities Regulation is well-deserved. Randy combines the formidable resources of a top-tier firm with the personal attention of a trusted advisor. For any matter involving regulatory scrutiny or securities litigation, he is simply outstanding.
