Partner, Business Litigation Group

Market-leading offerings, strategically positioned where our clients need us to be.

I have more than 20 years of litigation experience and have handled many trials, arbitrations, and mediations. My practice focuses on the representation of public and private companies, financial institutions, corporate executives and individuals involved in high-stakes commercial and securities litigation matters. I have extensive experience litigating cases involving the federal securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, internal corporate governance, the fiduciary obligations of corporate directors, insider trading, fraud, RICO, tortious conduct and breach of contract. I have appeared in state and federal courts throughout the country. I also represent and advise companies and individuals involved in internal and government investigations and regulatory proceedings pursued by the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In addition, I have extensive experience representing debtors, secured lenders and other creditors in federal bankruptcy court, particularly in contentious matters involving claims for fraudulent conveyance and preferential transfers and the liquidation of contracts and trades involving commodities, credit default swaps, and other derivative products. I have been recognized by Benchmark Litigation for my legal abilities and work on high-profile litigation matters. I graduated summa cum laude from Touro College and cum laude from Brooklyn Law School, where I was Note and Comment Editor of the Journal of Law and Policy. I am admitted to practice law in New York and New Jersey and before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the Second Circuit, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. District Court for New Jersey.
