COVER UPDATE: Clawback Continuation

After 20 years of working for one of the most prominent law firms on the Gulf Coast, securities law attorney Burton Wiand recently decided to open his own practice.

Wiand had been working for Fowler White Boggs for 20 years, joining the firm after spending 13 years as an attorney in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's enforcement division. Wiand didn't leave the firm empty-handed: At least 10 other attorneys in Fowler White's business law team joined Wiand in leaving to work for the new firm, Wiand Guerra King.

Moreover, all of Wiand's clients agreed to follow him and his partners to the new firm, choosing the attorney over the practice. And then there's what could be considered Wiand's most high-profile assignment: Serving as the court-appointed receiver in the case of Arthur Nadel, the Sarasota money manager facing federal criminal charges for allegedly bilking investors out of $400 million in a Ponzi scheme.
