I have extensive government relations and regulatory experience. I practiced law in New York City focused on Federal representation for hundreds of financial institution clients including Wall Street clients including George Soros, Larry Fink, George Kellner and Schulte, Roth & Zabel. I obtained scores of clients as an investment banker for Federal governmental agencies at Merrill Lynch. I worked for a member of Congress, a United States Senator, a President, a Washington trade association and a federal agency. I know how business and government interact.
