Daniel S. Reich
Associate
Daniel Reich has experience in a broad range of litigation matters, including white collar criminal proceedings, internal investigations, and international commercial disputes. Mr. Reich has represented clients in both state and federal proceedings, as well as in an International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes arbitration and in a case involving the enforcement of an arbitral award in a foreign court.
In addition, Mr. Reich has represented clients in investigations by a United States Attorney's Office, the Department of Justice, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as foreign governmental authorities. Representative matters include the internal investigation of a publicly-traded company on behalf of its audit committee for potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the representation of a publicly-traded pharmaceutical company in an investigation of potential marketing violations.
Mr. Reich is committed to pro bono work. He represented an individual in a capital appeal in Florida and helped an immigrant client from Colombia and his children gain asylum in the United States. Mr. Reich also assisted in drafting two amicus briefs submitted to the United States Supreme Court: one successfully opposed a grant of certiorari in Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. v. Wiwa following a favorable appeals court ruling rejecting attempts to dismiss a complaint alleging the defendants' complicity in human rights abuses in Nigeria; the second successfully supported the petitioner in Atkins v. Virginia, a case in which the Supreme Court held that the Constitution places a substantive restriction on the state's power to take the life of a mentally retarded offender.
Mr. Reich is a member of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York (where he serves as Secretary of the International Human Rights Committee), the Federal Bar Council, and the American Society of International Law.
