Further names to note are Pratin Vallabhaneni, who works from the same office and has experience advising on a variety of complex fintech and crypto cases, as well as assisting clients, including brokers, issuers, and security firms, on the array of blockchain matters. Washington DC’s Rachel Rodman is experienced in advising fintech clients, banks, and financial institutions in state and federal investigations and enforcement cases, and in handling complex commercial litigation. Douglas Landy departed the team in January 2025.
