Hueston Hennigan obtained a sweeping victory for Joshua Abrahams, a former PwC auditor, when the SEC voluntarily dismissed an administrative action charging Abrahams in connection with a Mattel audit that later resulted in a $109 million restatement.

Hueston Hennigan has represented Abrahams since the investigation began in 2019. The SEC filed its action against him in October 2022. The firm vigorously defended the matter and was gearing up for a constitutional challenge when the dismissal occurred.

The team includes Thomas Zaccaro, Kelsey Dayton, Stephen Mayer, Alexis Blackmore, Arianna Demas, Mariah Rivera, Jessica Trafimow and Collin Yeung.
