Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton
Polly Towill is recognized among clients and peers as a “go-to” litigator and legal strategist, consistently earning exceptional results in bet-the-company lawsuits. In addition to being a top rainmaker at Sheppard Mullin, Towill is the office managing partner of the firm’s largest office (Los Angeles), and she leads the firm’s Federal Whistleblower Retaliation Defense Team and Toxic Tort and Products Liability Team. Towill is a trial lawyer of choice when a case concerns alleged violations of securities and banking regulations and whistleblower retaliation. She and her team recently won a decision from a FINRA arbitration panel finding that securities trader Scott Reynolds was liable for intentional misconduct in connection with a short-selling scheme that caused client Axos Clearing more than $16 million in losses in a single day. The panel found entirely for Axos Clearing, ordering Reynolds to pay Axos more than $17.8 million in damages and interest.
