Kenneth (Ken) Breen has earned a national reputation as a leading advocate and trial attorney who consistently delivers favorable outcomes for his clients. Major corporations and executives frequently choose Ken to handle their civil and criminal litigation and regulatory enforcement defense matters, and to direct their internal and external investigations, across a wide range of specialized subject matters, including securities and commodities fraud, health care fraud, consumer protection, money laundering, anti-corruption, digital assets and crypto — many of which involve law enforcement and regulatory agencies from multiple jurisdictions and cross-border legal issues.  He regularly represents clients in court and before the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Federal Reserve, state attorney generals, state financial services departments, FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations, other federal agencies, and international regulators.

Ken also has substantial experience as a business litigator, representing clients in high-stakes civil litigation matters in federal and state courts and arbitration proceedings.
