Mr. Regan is the firmwide Practice Group Leader of our Corporate & Securities Litigation and Government Investigations practices.

Shawn is currently the President of the Federal Bar Council, the Second Circuit's premier bar organization. His experience, judgment, zealous advocacy and bias for collaboration have led him to be engaged for significant other leadership positions outside the firm and to his recognition by Crain's New York Business - the authority on NYC business for 100+ years - for possessing "the financial, strategic, and legal expertise to drive significant commercial activity in the region, shaping New York City's business landscape and fostering enterprise growth."

Shawn thus typically represents clients in their most vexing matters, often involving regulatory and public relations elements or novel jurisdictional, substantive and procedural issues. He handles complex business disputes, securities litigation, government and regulatory investigations, cross-border litigation and putative class/mass actions, involving contracts, torts, fraud and other common law and statutory claims.

In addition to his work as lead trial counsel in arbitral forums and state and federal courts, Shawn has argued and been lead counsel of record in numerous successful appeals, including in several United States Circuit Courts of Appeals, the New York State Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States. He enjoys collaborating with clients and other outside counsel to utilize strategically each team member's skills, attributes and experience to bring about the most effective and efficient result for clients.

Shawn is a regular invited attendee of the Second Circuit Judicial Conference. He has been appointed by present and past Chief Judges of the SDNY to several positions, including to argue on behalf of the Judges of the Southern District Grievance Committee on matters before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. He previously held numerous other senior leadership positions in the Federal Bar Council.
