Biography

Scott Snipkie is an accomplished securities enforcement attorney, former assistant attorney general and Navy veteran. He applies his unique combination of securities law experience and knowledge to crafting effective compliance solutions for investment adviser clients.

When compliance requires a more nuanced reading of the rules, Scott provides a high level of analysis for clients’ most challenging regulatory questions. That critical insight helps guide clients to identify and implement optimal compliance solutions. Scott takes a proactive approach, going beyond risk avoidance to counsel clients on how to successfully achieve their business goals while maintaining compliance with all applicable regulations. Scott is able to take the most complex regulatory issues and explain them to clients clearly and succinctly.

His extensive background includes experience as Missouri Securities Division Enforcement Counsel, working closely with examiners and investigators to enforce state securities law; as a member of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) enforcement working group; and as Assistant Attorney General in the Missouri Attorney General’s Office handling complex regulatory and administrative matters on behalf of state agencies.

Background
