On January 27, 2026, partner Craig Singer served as session chair on a panel titled “Ethical Issues of Interest to Securities Lawyers” at Northwestern’s 2026 Securities Regulation Institute. The panel focused on the ethical issues presented when an attorney’s prior work for a current client is put at issue; an attorney learns of potential errors in securities filings that they oversaw; an attorney relies on artificial intelligence tools that generate inaccurate information; and when an attorney is advising a client whether to waive privilege over the attorney’s own conversations.

Craig Singer has represented numerous lawyers and law firms, including some of the nation’s largest firms, in federal and state courts, government investigations, and arbitration proceedings in many jurisdictions around the country. Craig is co-chair of Williams & Connolly’s Law Firm Defense practice. Chambers USA has recognized Craig among the top lawyers nationwide in Law Firm Defense, noting he “is considered a leading choice by top law firms and lawyers facing significant malpractice claims, as well as defending regulatory investigations and enforcement.”
