Bracewell, who has served as one of the Section’s Board members-at-large since late 2021 and was elected treasurer this term, represents plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of criminal and civil matters, with a special focus on white collar crime. She frequently represents clients under investigation by the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission, and has advised clients facing claims of bribery; price-fixing and bid-rigging; securities fraud, wire fraud, government contracting fraud, and tax fraud; violations of the False Claims Act, Stark Law, and Anti-Kickback Statute; and use of deceptive business practices.
Weeks, who was named member-at-large, represents corporations as well as their directors and officers in complex commercial, shareholder derivative, and securities class action litigation, in addition to handling company’s books and records demands, and special committee or other regulatory investigations. Clients turn to her for guidance when facing allegations of all types of shareholder disputes, including allegations of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and corporate governance concerns.
