George C. Freeman, III, is a founding member of the firm. His practice focuses on securities litigation, arbitration, and enforcement. He primarily represents financial advisors and broker-dealers, together with their respective officers, directors, and employees, in customer disputes and in SEC and FINRA proceedings. He also represents underwriters, issuers, and trustees in securities class action cases. Outside the field of securities, George concentrates in complex financial and commercial litigation.
