Adam H. Schuman is perhaps best known for his work in prosecuting the “Wolf of Wall Street” securities fraud case, made infamous by the Leonardo DiCaprio film by the same name. Now he’s leaving his government work, most recently as special counsel for public integrity for New York, to join the partnership of Biglaw.
Today, Perkins Coie announced Schuman was taking his talents to their New York office, where he’ll join their white collar and investigations practice:
“Adam is a highly respected and experienced litigator and trial attorney,” Markus Funk, chair of Perkins Coie’s White Collar & Investigations practice, said. “His prosecution and high-stakes defense background, coupled with his in-house and public-sector experience, is an ideal match with our culture of professional excellence. We are excited to have him on our team.”
A New York University Law School alum, Schuman’s worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York (where he worked on the Wolf of Wall Street case) and spent over a decade working in the legal department of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. He clerked for S.D.N.Y Judge Loretta Preska after law school and went on to work at Paul, Weiss and Corbin Silverman & Sanseverino.
Congratulations on the new gig!
