Nick Morgan
Founder and President

ICAN’s efforts are deeply informed by co-founder and president Nicolas Morgan’s extensive experience and technical expertise with the SEC and securities enforcement.

 

Morgan spent seven years working as a senior trial counsel at the SEC, before moving into private practice, where he spent the past 18 years as a securities enforcement defense trial lawyer.

 

His experience has given him not only an insider’s understanding of how the SEC and the regulatory process work, but also an appreciation for how heavily the deck is stacked against small investors and the entrepreneurs whose efforts help drive the American economy.
