Partner · Co-chair, Securities Litigation & Enforcement
Priya Raghavan
“The best defense reads the source code, not just the complaint.”
Priya Raghavan defends the companies that write software, ship silicon, and file 10-Ks about both. An engineer before she was a lawyer, she is at her best when the alleged fraud lives in the technical details — and the defense does too.
She was named co-chair of the securities practice in 2026 and leads the firm's disclosure-counseling work for late-stage private companies preparing for public scrutiny.
