NEW YORK, October 2, 2017 — Veteran federal prosecutors Ed Kim, Paul Krieger, and Nick Lewin, who have conducted and supervised dozens of high-profile financial fraud, bribery, and national security trials in their collective 30 years of experience at the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), announced today the formation of a new law firm, Krieger Kim & Lewin LLP (“KKL”). KKL will represent individuals and institutions dealing with their most significant challenges involving government enforcement, investigations, complex commercial litigation, and cybersecurity.
KKL is the only law firm in the country to have been founded by three departing SDNY Criminal Division supervising prosecutors. Over the past decade, KKL’s founding partners have conducted more than 30 federal criminal trials and have led some of the most significant and sensitive federal prosecutions in the country, including the successful prosecutions of senior financial services executives, politicians, and senior members of al Qaeda. One of the partners also served as senior advisor to former Directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) Robert S. Mueller III and James B. Comey.
The partners said: “After a decade of working together in the SDNY and the Department of Justice, we are excited to have the opportunity to represent individuals and companies who are facing ever-changing and increasingly complex global litigation and government enforcement challenges. We believe that we can provide the kind of service individuals and institutions are looking for: the highest level of partner-led representation that produces efficient, creative, and effective solutions to their most pressing problems.”
