William represents clients in the financial sector in litigation and regulatory matters. He has particular experience in complex commercial litigation and class actions related to currency benchmarks and high-frequency trading; SEC, CFTC, and exchange investigations; FINRA and NFA arbitrations; and cryptocurrency offerings.

William spent four years at American global markets company CME Group Inc., the world's largest financial derivatives exchange.
