GGB Adds Benjamin Prell as Of Counsel, Expands Securities Practice

Gaddy Geiger & Brown is pleased to announce the addition of Benjamin Prell as Of Counsel, and the expansion of the firm’s securities practice.

Mr. Prell adds a specific area of expertise to the firm with his experience in securities arbitration, securities compliance and enforcement defense, and investment professional registration and employment issues. He has represented individual investors across the nation in arbitration claims and mediations, defended financial advisors in employment claims asserted by their former brokerage or investment advisory firms, advised investment professionals regarding securities regulatory problems and employment situations, and assisted registered investment advisors in creating and revising compliance programs. Mr. Prell serves as the Chairperson of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association’s Securities Law Committee, and is a member of the Missouri Secretary of State’s Securities Advisory Committee.

The addition of Ben Prell to the firm is a natural complement and progression to GGB’s considerable experience in business disputes, employment litigation, regulatory investigations, and white-collar criminal defense. Individuals or businesses that have regulatory issues or disputes involving securities law and regulation can be even more confident that Gaddy Geiger & Brown will be an excellent advocate for them. Clients who are subject to securities investigations or enforcement actions can expect GGB to give them excellent counsel at every step of the process.

Prior to joining GGB, Mr. Prell practiced with Stafford + Associates, a securities boutique law firm, and before that, with the Kansas City office of Armstrong Teasdale, where he specialized in general business and commercial litigation. He earned his law degree, cum laude, from American University’s Washington College of Law in Washington, DC. While he was in Washington, he gained a government security clearance and worked in the Public Corruption and Government Fraud Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. He also participated in the nationally-recognized D.C. Law Students in Court clinical program.
