His practice focuses principally on defending major
accounting and consulting organizations from claims
alleging up to billions of dollars in damages for professional
malpractice, securities fraud, and other alleged misconduct.
In addition to litigation, David also assists those clients
in responding to regulatory inquiries, complying with
professional standards, and mitigating risk. Of note, David
frequently defends high-pro昀椀le lawsuits brought against
his professional services 昀椀rm clients by trustees, foreign
liquidators, and receivers following large-scale corporate
frauds or bankruptcies, and he has been at the forefront of the
development of defenses like in pari delicto, which preclude
a corporation or its insolvency representatives from suing its
outside professional advisors to recover for a fraud committed
by the corporation’s own managers. Most recently, David has
also been one of the lead attorneys defending McKinsey & Co.
in opioid-related multidistrict litigation.
