James Sallah and Jeffrey Cox
Securities Attorneys
James Sallah and Jeffrey Cox, founding partners of Sallah Astarita & Cox, LLC, understand that any white-collar or regulatory action can have long-lasting repercussions that can negatively impact your future. Their firm has more than 100 years of combined experience handling governmental regulatory matters, white-collar criminal cases, broker-dealer and investment advisor regulation, complex commercial litigation, and securities arbitration and litigation on behalf of professionals and investors.
They aggressively assist clients at every stage of the legal process and have a track record of successfully navigating the complexities of matters to mitigate any potential negative outcome.
“Our goal is to diffuse situations before they rise to the level of an action,” says Partner James Sallah.
He, and Cox are well-respected among their peers and draw on their years of experience working at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice. They both also serve as adjunct law professors with Sallah teaching SEC Enforcement and Cox teaching White Collar Crime.
During their tenures as government lawyers, Sallah and Cox handled investigations and litigation in both federal court and administrative forums, including cases involving fraudulent offerings, Ponzi schemes, market manipulation, public company disclosures, and broker-dealer and investment adviser regulation.
“If the government is unwilling to resolve a matter favorably for a client, we will not hesitate to take the case to trial,” says Cox. They were the last attorneys in South Florida to defeat the SEC in an insider trading case before a jury in federal court.
As a boutique firm, the firm’s partners are hands on. “We are dealing with the most important aspects of someone’s affairs, whether it’s their career, money or liberty,” says Cox. “This is one of the most stressful times in a person’s professional life and we try to shepherd them through that for the best possible outcome.”
The firm has a national practice with offices in Boca Raton as well as New Jersey and New York.
