Berke is equally adept at convincing authorities not to bring charges, as in his representation of Bear Stearns in investigations related to the subprime mortgage crisis, and at convincing juries to acquit, as in his work for Deutsche Bank’s Raymond Brubaker, who was cleared of all charges related to an abusive tax fraud scheme in 2011. The other four defendants were convicted at trial.
A 1989 graduate of Harvard Law School, Berke is co-chair of the litigation department and the white collar and SEC regulatory practices at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel in New York. He also serves as chairman of the board for the Coalition for the Homeless.
