SAN FRANCISCO — An information technology employee at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati was charged Tuesday with insider trading for allegedly using private information about the firm’s mergers-and-acquisitions clients to game the stock market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission says Dimitry Braverman, who has worked in Wilson Sonsini’s IT department since 2000, made over $300,000 in illicit profits between 2010 and 2013. Braverman is also facing criminal securities fraud charges in U.S. district court in Manhattan.
