Greenberg Traurig Adds Lukanski to Securities Practice
Greenberg Traurig has expanded its securities litigation practice with the addition of shareholder John O. Lukanski to the Florham Park office, according to an announcement by the firm. He joins the firm from Reed Smith, where he was a partner and led the firm's broker-dealer and investment adviser practice.
"Welcoming John, and talented lawyers like him, is an important part of our plan for strategic growth in New Jersey," said David Jay and David W. Oppenheim, co-managing shareholders of the firm's New Jersey office, in a joint statement. "We are certain that John's ability to advocate for clients in complex and challenging securities litigation and internal and regulatory investigations, will greatly assist us as we strive continually to serve them at the highest level."
Lukanski has managed a wide range of matters, including internal reviews, regulatory investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and state regulators, complex FINRA Rule 4530 and U4/U5 disclosure issues, and litigation and arbitration proceedings.
