I concentrate my practice on business and commercial litigation with a focus on financial services and securities matters, including securities fraud litigation, SEC and FINRA investigations, shareholder derivative litigation, and federal equity receiverships.Most recently, I represented a number of companies in “business divorce” cases – i.e., disputes or litigation among partners or shareholders of closely-held entities. Such cases require experience and special attention because the parties have often worked with each other for many years or founded a company together, which can raise complicated factual and legal issues regarding invested capital, management authority, and distribution of profits (or allocation of losses). I have also represented defendants in securities fraud class action lawsuits and in SEC and FINRA enforcement proceedings. Finally, I am a member of the legal team representing the receiver appointed over Arthur Nadel’s $400 million Ponzi scheme. In that capacity, I helped to recover tens of millions of dollars for defrauded investors through dozens of cases in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. I am a Tampa native and graduated from Florida State University, cum laude, in 2002. I received my law degree in 2005 from Columbia Law School. At Columbia, I served as the Managing Editor of the Science & Technology Law Review. I also interned with the Rackets Bureau of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the Hon. Robert Patterson, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Hon. Sonia Sotomayor, then of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and, presently, a member of the United States Supreme Court.I have earned an AV Preeminent designation from Martindale-Hubbell and a "Rising Star" designation in business litigation from Super Lawyers for 2015 and 2016. I am admitted to practice in New York and Florida.
