Office Information

The lawyers in Steptoe’s New York office represent a diverse list of companies and individuals, both in the United States and abroad, with the goal of successfully navigating legal and business markets in New York and around the world.  Chambers USA has recognized the skills of our professionals in such varied categories as Commercial Litigation, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Leisure & Hospitality, Privacy & Data Security, Trial Lawyers, and White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations.

Our trial lawyers handle all forms of commercial disputes, white-collar criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions, and internal investigations.  Our lawyers appear before federal and state courts, before domestic and international panels, and in appellate courts throughout the country.  The office also features one of the world’s premier e-commerce, data privacy, and cyber security practices.  Additionally, Steptoe’s corporate lawyers represent companies, investors, and investment banks in a variety of financing transactions.

Prior to joining Steptoe, many of our lawyers served in government.  Our ranks include a former Chief of the Major Crimes Unit at the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Deputy Special Counsel to the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Deputy Superintendent for Life Insurance in the New York State Insurance Department, Chief of the Investor Protection Bureau in the New York State Attorney General’s Office, Assistant US Attorneys for the Eastern District of New York, Assistant District Attorney in the Frauds Bureau of the New York County District Attorney’s Office, and the Founding Director of the National Infrastructure Protection Center at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  A large percentage of our lawyers have held federal clerkships, and two of our lawyers had the honor of clerking for Justices on the US Supreme Court.

Given the frequently multinational nature of litigation and regulatory matters, Steptoe’s New York-based lawyers often draw on the talents of respected colleagues located in our six other US offices, as well as our offices in London, Brussels, and Beijing.  Our partners offer our clients in-depth experience on a wide range of legal issues, including FCPA/Anti-Corruption, international trade, domestic and international tax, and export controls.

Steptoe’s New York team is committed to its pro bono responsibilities and supports legal, civic, and local community organizations.  Our strong tradition of public service involves providing legal services to individuals and nonprofit organizations where legal help would otherwise be unavailable.  Recent significant matters have involved representing immigrants seeking political asylum, US Air Force pilots and others who were tortured while imprisoned during the First Gulf War, indigent criminal defendants, and parties to a range of employment disputes, death penalty proceedings, housing litigation, and tax matters.
