Robyn Quattrone is a Counsel in the Washington DC office of BuckleySandler LLP. Ms. Quattrone represents a variety of financial services, corporate and individual clients as well as Boards of Directors and Special Board committees in enforcement matters and regulatory inquiries before the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and in complex civil and white collar criminal litigation matters before federal and state courts, in administrative proceedings and in investigations brought by other federal and state authorities.
Ms. Quattrone also conducts internal investigations on behalf of her clients and counsels them on preventive and remedial measures before and after regulatory and securities related issues arise. She frequently handles matters involving concurrent civil litigation, including class actions, and multiple government investigations.
Ms. Quattrone’s representations include the following:
• A major home mortgage lender in parallel investigations by three federal regulatory agencies into fair lending and steering.
• A major bank and home mortgage lender in an investigation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development into alleged violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.
• A major financial services firm in mortgage repurchase litigation with both its servicer and the GSE that purchased the mortgages at issue.
• A major financial services firm during a SEC investigation into insider trading by one of the firm’s proprietary traders. The SEC ultimately took no action against the financial services firm or former trader.
• The founder of a hedge fund in a SEC investigation into whether she failed to supervise her partner, the fund’s primary investment decision-maker. The SEC ultimately took no action against the hedge fund’s founder.
• The general counsel of a state banking institution in connection with a SEC investigation into market timing. The SEC ultimately took no action against the general counsel.
• The CEO of a major insurance company and his family members and financial advisor, in an insider trading investigation. The SEC ultimately cited the CEO only for a technical violation – failing to file a required form in a timely manner.
Ms. Quattrone received her J.D. from the New York University School of Law in 1998 and her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 (cum laude).
