About the Speaker
Mark E. Bini is a Partner in Reed Smith's Global Regulatory Enforcement Practice, bringing nearly a decade of federal prosecutorial experience as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York and Middle District of Florida, where he specialized in investigating and prosecuting financial and corporate crime, plus five years as an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan.
With 26 trials under his belt—including some of the Department of Justice's most complex financial fraud cases—Mark has developed rare insight into prosecutorial decision-making that now benefits his corporate and individual clients. As a federal prosecutor, Mark served as a "CHIP" coordinator, leading EDNY's response to computer hacking and cryptocurrency fraud cases, and investigated multiple crypto fraud matters in parallel with the SEC and CFTC.
Since joining Reed Smith in 2021, Mark has distinguished himself by securing exceptional outcomes for clients, including time-served sentences for defendants facing decades in prison and twice obtaining rare SEC investigation termination letters in "bet the company" investment adviser cases. Most recently, his team secured a termination letter from the SEC in February 2025, with the agency formally stating it "did not intend to recommend enforcement action" against their registered investment adviser client—representing one of the most infrequent outcomes in securities enforcement.
Recognized by Chambers USA for White Collar Criminal Defense, clients describe Mark as "whip-smart and very effective" and "an absolute legal mastermind when crafting strategy."
