An experienced litigator, Miles Clark has played key roles in representing many of the firm’s most high-profile clients, helping bring their cases to successful resolution, often while balancing the pressures of public scrutiny.

Through these representations, he has developed a depth of experience with various regulatory and enforcement bodies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), various agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and numerous state attorneys general.

He also represents patients and providers in actions against health insurers, and parties to professional malpractice disputes and breach of contract actions.
