6 White Collar Defense Lawyers Among Most Influential In US

This year, the National Law Journal’s Most Influential Lawyers list is of particular interest to us here at the Financial Fraud Law blog. That’s because of the 34 lawyers chosen by the Journal who are “shaping the law, the economy, the physical fabric of the United States and the world,” six are white collar criminal defense lawyers. With new rules, regulations, laws, prosecutions, white collar criminal defense work is booming - and will continue to do so for quite some time. 

The top six white collar criminal defense lawyers chosen by the Journal, and the other lawyers on the list, will be honored during the Journal’s annual dinner, scheduled for June 8 at Gotham Hall in New York.
 
The white collar criminal defense lawyers on the list are:
 
ROBERT CARY AND BRENDAN SULLIVAN JR. | Williams & Connolly
ABBE LOWELL | McDermott Will & Emery
RICHARD MARMARO | Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
REID WEINGARTEN | Steptoe & Johnson
THEODORE WELLS JR. | Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison
