Practice Areas

Stephen is an accomplished trial lawyer whose achievements in recent years include successful representations of defendants in criminal insider trading trials and a $44 million plaintiff’s jury verdict in a trade secrets misappropriation case.

Stephen also has deep experience in antitrust, compliance, and internal investigations, including his appointment by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as the independent compliance monitor for Baker Hughes, Inc. in what was then the largest FCPA case on record.

Stephen has represented individuals and companies in a wide range of criminal matters, with a particular emphasis on white collar and financial crimes such as securities fraud. Stephen was trial and appellate counsel to Todd Newman in the landmark United States v. Newman insider trading case where he obtained a complete exoneration of his client in a decision from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that established high standards for charging insider trading offenses.

Stephen also represents Chris Worrall in the United States v. Blaszczak insider trading case, where he obtained acquittals at trial on 14 of 16 counts and the two remaining counts of conviction were reversed on appeal resulting in the dismissal of all charges against his client. Stephen’s criminal representations also include complex multinational investigations, for example, his representation of Citigroup in the Banamex/Oceanografia fraud matter, his representation of Bilfinger SE in its FCPA investigations and deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ, and serving as the DOJ- and SEC-appointed independent compliance matter for Baker Hughes, Inc..
