Learned contracts from the late great Professor E. Allan Farnsworth, “one of America’s most renowned legal scholars on contracts,” “reporter for the influential 1981 Restatement (Second) of Contracts” (Wikipedia); worked as Professor’s research assistant and book editor, 1L; winner of the Class of 1913 Prize in Contracts; have been litigating sophisticated contract cases ever since.

James Kent Scholar; Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar; senior editor at Columbia Law Review; summer and part-time associate at Wachtell Lipton, the most profitable and prestigious corporate law firm in the U.S.

Eight more years at Wachtell after graduation defending Fortune 100 companies, Wall Street banks and hedge funds in white-collar crime, fraud, hostile takeover, and securities class action cases regularly featured in the WSJ and NYT. Two years at Kasowitz in multi-billion-dollar fraud, RICO, takeover and antitrust cases on plaintiffs’ and defendants’ side. Then three years in Switzerland suing governments worldwide on behalf of Philip Morris International, the most profitable and litigious tobacco company in the world. Four years back in New York representing Russian Forbes billionaires in investigating and prosecuting international fraud cases.

I now prosecute serious corporate fraud cases against large companies with my own practice.
