Zachary Brez
Partner, Kirkland & Ellis
Zach works with companies and their senior officers and directors to investigate, mitigate, defend and advise on complex enforcement and regulatory matters in two primary areas: (1) securities, futures and derivative financial products before the DOJ, SEC and CFTC, as well as FINRA, the CME, ICE, CFE and others; and (2) international risk, such as antibribery and corruption, sanctions, anti-money laundering and antiboycott issues.
Zach is the co-author of leading practitioner guides in these two areas, which are published by Bloomberg BNA: Commodities & Futures Enforcement: Practice and Procedure in CFTC and SRO Investigations and Sanctions Enforcement and Compliance: A Practitioner’s Guide to OFAC.
Prior to joining Kirkland, Zach was a staff attorney in the Division of Enforcement for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
