Lawyers Weigh in on DOJ’s Newman Appeal to High Court

Daniel L. Zelenko, a New York-based partner in the firm’s White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group, is quoted in Law360 discussing the significance of the U.S. Department of Justice's petition to have the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the ruling on U.S. v. Newman et al. Zelenko said, "The appeal demonstrates how vital this issue is to the prosecution of future insider trading cases in 2015 and beyond…the stakes are very high and you can bet there was vigorous debate at the Department of Justice before pursuing this appeal, which is never done without serious consideration of all of the ramifications."
