Criminal Defense
Mr. Rosenthal represents individuals, not-for-profits, present or past government officials, and businesses in federal and state courts, as well as before regulatory agencies. Mr. Rosenthal has extensive experience on both sides of the courtroom, having served as a federal prosecutor, head of the DOJ Appellate Section with responsibility for cases around the country, and on then on the defense side, as lead counsel in numerous cases involving RICO, insider trading, SEC violations, money laundering, mail and wire fraud, OFAC, FCPA, and other financial crimes.
Complex Civil Cases
Effective representation requires knowledge and skills to represent clients in multiple forums. Proceedings are often initiated in civil cases, sometimes by third parties, while a grand jury is considering evidence. Mr. Rosenthal has extensive experience in complex civil cases, ranging from antitrust, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and other causes of action. The diversity of his experience is shown by past cases in which he has represented several clients in business or partnership disputes, a large maritime carrier facing multidistrict litigation over antitrust allegations, clients faced with alleged theft of proprietary or trade secrets, and challenges to bidding awards or processes.
Facing Regulatory Action or Government Scrutiny?
Mr. Rosenthal was named a "Trendsetter" in regulatory matters by the National Law Journal. He has also written two treatises published by BNA-Bloomberg dealing extensively with regulatory issues confronting the business community. One treatise authored by Mr. Rosenthal deals specifically with the problems facing officers and directors in financial institutions. The second involves cybersecurity litigation. Regulatory matters handled by Mr. Rosenthal include OFAC, SEC and other agencies which may be conducting their own investigation or working in parallel with enforcement agencies, such as DOJ or the U.S Attorneys' offices.
