His team also won the Midwest region, and finished in the final 16 in the country, in the New York City Bar Association’s National Moot Court Competition. After law school, Ty clerked for the Honorable John W. Lungstrum, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. He then spent five years in Washington D.C., working first for Jones Day, one of the largest law firms in the world, and then the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). At Jones Day, as part of the trial practice group, Ty represented a broad spectrum of large corporate clients involved in complex litigation, including individual and class action disputes, such as breach of contract, financial fraud, RICO, intellectual property, antitrust, securities, and white collar crimes. Ty worked extensively with forensic accountants and other expert witnesses, and played key roles in a weeklong arbitration (breach of contract) and seven week jury trial (financial fraud). Through these matters, Ty gained extensive experience collecting, organizing, and distilling large quantities of documents and facts, and developing legal theories and trial themes in complex matters. He also learned to use cutting edge technology to achieve results as efficiently and effectively as possible. At the SEC, Ty worked in the Enforcement Division as a Senior Counsel in the Financial Fraud Task Force. He led investigations and prosecuted individuals and companies suspected of committing federal securities laws violations, with an emphasis on financial frauds such as stock options backdating and accounting manipulation. Through this experience, Ty has a unique understanding of the SEC’s investigative and enforcement process, and a general understanding of how federal regulatory investigations are conducted. Ty represents both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of litigation matters with a focus on commercial litigation, federal regulatory investigations, antitrust litigation, and securities disputes of all kinds. Ty is licensed to practice in Missouri, Kansas, and the District of Columbia, as well the United States District Courts for the District of Kansas, Western District of Missouri, and District of Columbia.
