The arrival of prominent white-collar defense and corporate securities lawyer Toby Galloway prompted coverage in The Texas Lawbook and Law360, including a Q&A with Toby about his work and move to Vartabedian Hester & Haynes.

In its reporting, The Texas Lawbook highlighted the firm’s continued expansion of its white-collar capabilities, while Law360 detailed Toby’s background as a former SEC attorney and his role in strengthening the firm’s white-collar defense, securities enforcement and investigations practice.

“The firm wants to develop a white-collar team that can handle any white-collar matter comprehensively, whether criminal, civil or both,” Toby says. “The SEC will continue to focus on bread-and-butter matters such as insider trading, offerings to mom-and-pop retail investors and conflict-of-interest disclosures by investment advisers. Healthcare enforcement will continue to be a priority for the DOJ, and I expect to see an uptick in prosecutions relating to tariffs and international trade.”
