The group is led by seasoned trial lawyer Joel Cohen, who is based in New York. Key lawyers also include Michael Kendall in Boston, who represents clients in both criminal and civil regulatory matters, as well as in business litigation, and Brent Wible, a go-to advisor to financial institutions, global corporations, and individuals in criminal and civil enforcement matters.
