Nancy Grunberg

Nancy has labored tirelessly for justice throughout her professional career, focusing her practice on securities law and financial disclosure matters. She has worked the whole gamut of financial law cases from insider trading to stopping ongoing Ponzi schemes to litigating microcap fraud.

Nancy spent nine years with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in two distinct periods, from 1996 to 2002 and from 1988 to 1992. When last at the SEC, she served as the Assistant Director in the Division of Enforcement. While there, she supervised numerous investigations, resulting in the filing of judicial or administrative enforcement actions. In private practice, she has represented individuals and entities being investigated for financial and accounting fraud, investment adviser violations, and various other alleged securities law violations.

Her work in this area has led to her inclusion in “The 25 Most Influential Women in Securities Law” by Law360, an award recognizing her vital work at the Securities Exchange Commission and private practice. She was also selected in 2014 by Corporate Responsibility Magazine as among the “Legal Who’s Who: Securities Defense.” In November of 2012, US News Media Group conferred Venable a Tier 1 Law Firm in 11 separate categories. Ms. Grunberg co-chaired the White-Collar Litigation of the practice when this award was conferred. She has also represented a number of high profile clients in internal and government investigations. In her first stint at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Nancy received the “Supervisory Excellence Award.”

We aim to provide a team of mentors of the girls in our program. With this model, there are two kinds of mentors:

1. Mentor Team Member- This mentor is a part of a team and will provide specific support to the mentee based on her area of need. This role can be virtual and the commitment can be 1 or 2 years with the expectation of a monthly check-in with the mentee. This mentor's experience aligns with the mentee's career interests and will help her in specific phases of her career path. For example, they may walk her through the college application process, help her look for a job or internship, or assist her in gaining access to resources like scholarships, fellowship programs, or government assistance. This mentor might also help her gain specific skills such as networking, public speaking, interviewing, financial acumen, entrepreneurship, self-motivation, etc.

2. Mentor Team Lead- This mentor will be based in Dallas and commit to 1-2 years with their mentee leading her team of mentors. This high-level commitment includes coordinating with Nomi Network staff and the multi-disciplinary team prior to the girl's discharge from the Dallas County Juvenile System. They will be a part of her re-entry plan and treatment, and build face-to-face rapport. The mentor team lead will set up monthly or bi-monthly meeting with the mentor team to assign roles and projects to the other mentors based on the mentee's needs. Nomi Network's Mentor Coordinator will support each mentor team lead throughout the 2 year process.
