Stinson LLP is pleased to welcome Thomas A. Roberts to the firm's New York office. Roberts is the sixth attorney to join the firm in this office in the last year. He joins as a partner in the firm's Financial Services & Class Action Practice Division.

Roberts' practice focuses on serving the securities and financial services industries, with an emphasis on defending securities brokers and dealers, financial services firms and professionals in litigation and arbitration. He regularly advises and represents brokers and dealers, and their registered representatives, in regulatory investigations and actions launched by federal government agencies and state securities commissioners.

"Tom's impressive legal acumen, proven leadership and extensive network in the New York business community position him as an invaluable asset," Stinson's Financial Services & Class Action Practice Division Chair Chuck Hatfield said. "His diverse experience and broad understanding of the regulatory market and legal industry equips him with vital insight and perspectives to further propel our financial services and class action practice and the New York office's strategic initiatives, fueling the firm's growth and momentum in the New York market."

Roberts has served as lead counsel in state and federal courts and arbitration proceedings before major self-regulatory organizations, private dispute resolution organizations and regulatory agencies throughout the United States. He also has successfully argued before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second, Third and Fifth Circuits. Additionally, he represents telecommunications clients in litigation and regulatory matters and serves as general counsel to the boards of several trade associations, providing corporate governance and antitrust advice.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to leverage Stinson's long-held status in financial services and commercial litigation matters and to aid clients in navigating the regulatory landscape," Roberts said. "I am proud to be a member of this firm and look forward to upholding Stinson's commitment to providing exceptional client service."

Prior to joining Stinson, Roberts served as the New York office managing principal of a preeminent, national, full-service law firm.
