While at Shearman & Sterling, Alan’s work encompassed general commercial litigation, antitrust, securities, and ERISA litigation.  He subsequently joined Dreier LLP in 2007 where his experience included all of the foregoing, as well as drafting pleadings, client counseling, negotiating and drafting of settlement agreements, and managing all aspects of discovery, including depositions and the supervision of junior attorneys.  His practice expanded to include a broad range of complex litigation in federal and state courts, arbitrations and mediations, including the representation of, among others:

Alan attended The George Washington University, receiving a B.A., cum laude, in International Affairs, in May 2000, earning a double concentration in International Economics and International Politics.  Following college, he attended the Tulane University School of Law.  After his first year of law school, Alan interned for the US Securities and Exchange Commission, where he assisted enforcement staff attorneys in cases relating to financial fraud by reporting companies, fraud in securities offerings, fraud over the internet, and illegal securities sales practices.  He served as the Senior Notes and Comments Editor of the Tulane Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property and authored “Interpretation of ‘Revision’ Under the Copyright Act Spells Trouble for Publishers:  Greenberg v. National Geographic Society,” 4 Tul. J. Tech. & Intell. Prop. 223 (2002), for which he was honored with the 2001-2002 Best Case Note Award.
