Perry Law

Perry Law is an innovative, premier litigation boutique specializing in white collar defense and complex commercial litigation. With vast experience in federal and state government, in private practice, and in academia, Perry Law attorneys are uniquely equipped to represent companies and individuals in criminal matters, high-stakes government and internal investigations, regulatory inquiries, and appeals. Eschewing “one-size-fits-all” approaches, the firm develops highly tailored strategies and investigative techniques on behalf of its clients to deliver successful solutions and resolutions. The firm often secures favorable resolutions for its clients, in part because its veteran trial lawyers are always ready to confront and prevail over adversaries in court when necessary.

Perry Law tackles cutting-edge legal questions in high-stakes cases, pursuing novel legal arguments, prevailing on judges and juries, and negotiating favorable solutions. The firm brings those same skills to bear in its social impact work, advancing systemic reform through several groundbreaking cases. The firm’s attorneys have represented a wide range of litigants, including established corporate entities, high-profile individuals, small business owners whose companies or freedoms were at stake, wrongfully terminated employees, and numerous indigent defendants. Many of these representations have attracted wide public attention.

Perry Law’s success is evident in the talent it attracts. Recently founded by longtime SDNY prosecutor and former New York Deputy Attorney General E. Danya Perry, it is quickly accumulating top-tier attorneys, including former Manhattan District Attorney’s Office senior official, Joan Illuzzi-Orbon. The firm, entirely woman-owned, grounds itself in diversity and excellence, creating a cohesive and inclusive culture. The firm’s commitment to service attracts former prosecutors, public defenders, and government lawyers, who seek to continue to work for reform of the criminal justice system and access-to-justice causes, including through extensive pro bono and other representations. Perry Law compensates its attorneys above Big Law salary scale, and it provides courtroom and client opportunities that are unheard of in Big Law. It both seeks out, and builds out, talent in its attorneys.

Perry Law's attorneys are regularly quoted in virtually every significant news outlet, and they write numerous op-eds and scholarly pieces covering topical legal issues in numerous papers of record, including The New York Times and the Washington Post.
