About

Alan Brudner has more than 25 years of experience representing institutions and individual clients in government and regulatory investigations, as well as internal investigations and litigation. He regularly counsels clients on matters involving the Department of Justice and US Attorney’s Offices, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and other federal and state regulators and prosecutors. Alan also represents clients in securities and business litigation matters. He has counseled clients in connection with investigations by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Alan has represented clients in various investigations arising out of the 2008 credit crisis, as well as in connection with allegations relating to insider trading, bid-rigging, fraudulent accounting and disclosure, fraudulent sales practices, market manipulation, tax evasion and corrupt foreign payments. As an Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he was a member of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, Alan oversaw the investigation and prosecution of numerous cases focusing on securities, mail, wire and bank frauds; tax and customs frauds; money laundering; and other white-collar criminal matters. In 1994, he received the US Chief Postal Inspector’s Award for the investigation and prosecution of significant mail and wire fraud cases. Alan has successfully tried complex securities fraud cases before federal juries, and has briefed and argued appeals before the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, including a successful pro bono appeal in which the court held that a defendant is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus if he can demonstrate that he would not have been convicted absent the perjured testimony of a government witness, even where the prosecutor was unaware of the perjury at the time of trial. A frequent judge of moot courts and mock trials for the Fordham Law School trial advocacy program and NYU School of Law’s Moot Court program, Alan also often appears on CLE panels regarding the ethics and mechanics of corporate internal investigations, securities investigations and litigation. While attending law school, Alan served as managing editor of the Annual Survey of American Law and was the recipient of the Judge Abraham Lieberman Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Criminal Law. He was awarded the Eleanor H. DeGolier Prize for Academic Excellence at Vassar College.
