Overview
The Am Law Litigation Daily profiled Reid Weingarten in a question-and-answer style interview titled “White-Collar Titan Reid Weingarten on Juries, Clients and the Scariest Federal Prosecutors.” The profile, published September 4, describes Mr. Weingarten as “one of the country’s preeminent white-collar defense lawyers” whose previous clients include former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers, former Enron chief accounting officer Richard Causey, former Tyco general counsel Mark Belnick, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, and film director Roman Polanski. In the interview, Mr. Weingarten goes into depth regarding his practice including what it means when he wants the “smart jurors,” what he says to prosecutors in their offices to convince them not to bring a case, and how he and close friend Eric Holder Jr., the former US attorney general, years ago started a foundation that has helped thousands of juvenile offenders and at-risk teens.
