HENRY KERR
Henry Kerr has extensive experience in business and securities litigation. He is an expert in securities regulations and compliance, previously serving as General Counsel and Senior Vice President of McDonald & Company, a regional securities firm (now part of Key Bank), where he was charged with overseeing the compliance effort for that firm and also advised the firm on broker dealer legal issues.
After spending 6 years as a trial lawyer doing products liability litigation and admiralty cases in New York, in 1969 Henry joined the New York Stock Exchange Division of Enforcement, where he prosecuted member firms and registered personnel for infractions of the Exchange Rules and Regulations and successfully prosecuted one of the first administrative proceedings against a senior managing director of a major member firm for failure to supervise. Thereafter he joined Bache and Company as regional counsel responsible for its Canadian Division and some 20 domestic branches. He both prosecuted and defended suits against the firm, including employment matters. His duties required a thorough knowledge of Exchange Rules and regulations, Federal Securities laws and custom and usage in the industry.
