The Martin Act gives the Attorney General broad law-enforcement powers to conduct investigations of suspected securities fraud. IPB’s Enforcement Section evaluates complaints, conducts civil investigations, and litigates matters pursuant to the Martin Act and New York’s Executive Law. In recent years, the section has investigated a wide range of conduct impacting the financial markets, including high frequency trading, Ponzi schemes, and foreign currency exchange.

Through these regulatory and enforcement powers, IPB protects the public from fraud and misrepresentation in the offering and sale of securities, commodities, franchises and other investment products.
The Deputy Bureau Chief will aid the Bureau Chief in the supervision of attorneys and support staff across the enforcement, registration and franchise sections. The Deputy Bureau Chief will also assist on broader IPB initiatives, which may involve the coordination with outside government agencies, including other Attorneys General, state securities regulators, federal regulators and NASAA.
