About

Emily Goebel is an experienced litigation and securities regulatory attorney in Pierson Ferdinand's Washington, D.C. office. Emily concentrates her practice on broker-dealer regulatory and compliance matters involving the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and assisting carriers and their agents with representations and warranties insurance (RWI) claims, and complex commercial litigation, including post-acquisition M&A disputes.
