David Isaak Email & Phone Number

A Partner at Steptoe in Houston, I represent companies and executives in their most serious legal matters: government investigations, white collar criminal cases, and high stakes civil litigation. I am equally at home in civil or criminal court.My practice centers on representing clients in complex government investigations, white collar criminal cases , and civil litigation involving health care fraud, tax fraud, securities fraud (including insider trading), commodities manipulation, trademark infringement, theft of trade secrets, environmental crimes, and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Often my victories are private, such as when I persuade prosecutors or regulators not to bring criminal charges or civil enforcement claims. For example, no charges were filed when I successfully represented a software company and executives in an FBI and DOJ Investigation into alleged trade secret theft. I also recently represented a publicly traded company in an SEC inquiry, which ended in the SEC taking no action. I also been handle high-stakes civil litigation. For example, I represented a major player in the agricultural industry, the plaintiff in an 8 figure fraud case in Texas state court. After a week of trial, the case settled for a confidential amount. I also represented McKesson in the Texas opioids MDL, and am currently representing an oil services company in an eight-figure contract dispute. Bottom line, whether the dispute is civil or criminal, I have the skills, experience, and work ethic to zealously represent my client's interests in high-stakes disputes and help them achieve the best possible results.

Listed skills include Appeals, Litigation, Civil Litigation, White Collar Criminal Defense, and 5 others.
