Firm Overview

Driscoll & Redlich represents individual and institutional clients in complex criminal litigation and appeals; securities enforcement matters; civil and criminal tax cases; regulatory investigations; and professional disciplinary matters. The firm was founded in 1994 by Peter J. Driscoll and Catherine L. Redlich, then partners in a preeminent New York City white-collar defense firm. Their shared vision was to establish a sophisticated legal practice in a small firm context, thereby offering clients highly individualized attention, partner accessibility, and the substantial economies of a smaller specialty practice with the expertise and capabilities of a larger firm.

Over a decade later, that vision has been fully realized. Driscoll & Redlich has developed an outstanding reputation in the defense bar for its personal attention to client needs, superior written advocacy, exceptional trial skills, and creative approaches to achieving favorable resolutions — often before any formal charges have been filed. Its partners, each of whom has more than twenty-five years of litigation experience, practice in a wide range of settings, including federal courts nationwide, New York State courts, United States Tax Court, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and other governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations.

Driscoll & Redlich's clients come from a broad spectrum of industries and professions. Currently, for example, the firm represents:

• an international airline in a federal antitrust investigation;
• the portfolio manager of a billion-dollar hedge fund in SEC and DOJ investigations of the fund's collapse in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis;
• a contractor in the Manhattan District Attorney Office’s investigation of the Deutsche Bank Building fire that resulted in the death of two New York City firefighters;
• a senior managing director of a global financial firm in a SEC investigation of mutual fund market timing;
• the officer of a major construction company facing trial on fraud charges in connection with the Minority Business Enterprise program;
• an insurance company executive indicted by the New York State Attorney General's Office for bid rigging in the placement of commercial insurance;
• a pharmaceutical company executive in a federal prosecution for insider trading;
• a commercial design firm in an investigation by the New York County District Attorney’s Office of corruption in a state agency;
• the principal of a financing company in a bankruptcy fraud investigation;
• a former partner of a worldwide accounting firm in a federal investigation of that firm's marketing of tax shelters.
