The Law Office of Samuel Rosenthal
Mr. Rosenthal draws upon his in-depth experience to effectively represent clients in both civil and criminal cases. Recent cases include complex proceedings involving RICO, antitrust, insider trading, fraudulent stock transactions, defamation, business disputes, OFAC sanctions, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and others. Many cases involve parallel civil and criminal proceedings or investigations. He has also been retained to represent clients in a number of cross-border investigations. While in private practice, Mr. Rosenthal was retained to represent GNMA, and also served as Associate Independent Counsel to the U.S. Senate.
Before entering private practice, Mr. Rosenthal served as a federal prosecutor and the head of DOJ's appellate section where he had responsibility for cases on behalf of the U.S. federal government throughout the country. He has argued in every federal circuit, handling cases raising novel issues of first impression. These include, among others, the constitutionality of the bail reform act currently in existence in federal cases, the ability of the U.S. Government to revoke the U.S. citizenship of a Nazi war criminal, the ability of the U.S. Government to forfeit illegal proceeds used to fund attorneys' fees and the applicability of the Classified Information Procedure Act to criminal cases.
Mr. Rosenthal also authored two treatises published by BNA-Bloomberg. The first involves representation of directors and officers in financial institutions. The second involves cybersecurity litigation. He has been honored by being named one of the profession's "Best Lawyers" for his work in white collar and government investigations, a "Client All-Star" in antitrust matters, and a "Trendsetter" by the National Law Journal in connection with regulatory matters.
Mr. Rosenthal graduated from Cornell University and Cornell Law School. He is admitted to practice in Washington, D.C., New York, and various federal courts.
