DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hilgers Graben, a leading national litigation firm, is proud to announce that Scott Mascianica, the firm’s head of government investigations and regulatory enforcement, has been named to Securities Docket’s “Enforcement Elite” 2024 list, which recognizes the top securities enforcement defense counsel in the industry.

The publication describes honorees as professionals who not only have the “right stuff to handle bet-the-company matters, but are also the kind of defensive specialists critical to have on speed-dial should the SEC’s Division of Enforcement come calling.”
