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.

At the time we launched this blog, “lawfare” in some quarters carried solely negative connotations. That is, for many people the terms signified, for better or worse, only the misuse or distortion of legal forms, as distinct from the broader, value-neutral sense involved in General Dunlap’s expanded definition. Many people who sought to make international and domestic law a more significant constraint on the prosecution of armed conflicts thought of the term as kind of political slur that equated legal challenges to government policies as tools of America’s enemies. And some who viewed such efforts suspiciously used the term in precisely this fashion. For example, an advocacy group called The Lawfare Project—which is devoted “to identifying, analyzing, and facilitating a response to lawfare in all of its manifestations”—insists that lawfare “is not something in which persons engage in the pursuit of justice, and must be defined as a negative phenomenon to have any real meaning.”
