White Collar Defense and Investigations Anti-Money Laundering Class Actions Crisis Management FCPA Financial Institutions Litigation Oil and Gas Private Equity Securities Enforcement Securities Litigation Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance

BIOGRAPHY

Joel M. Cohen, a trial lawyer and former federal prosecutor, is Co-Chair of Gibson Dunn’s White Collar Defense and Investigations Group, and a member of its Securities Litigation, Class Actions and Antitrust Practice Groups.  Mr. Cohen has been lead or co-lead counsel in 24 civil and criminal trials in federal and state courts.  Mr. Cohen is equally comfortable leading confidential investigations, managing crises or advocating in court.  Mr. Cohen’s experience includes all aspects of FCPA/anticorruption issues, insider trading, cross-border tax issues, securities and financial institution litigation, class actions, sanctions, money laundering and asset recovery, with a particular focus on international disputes and discovery.

Mr. Cohen was the prosecutor of Jordan Belfort and Stratton Oakmont, which is the focus of “The Wolf of Wall Street” film by Martin Scorsese.  He was an advisor to the OECD in connection with the effort to prohibit corruption in international transactions and was the first Department of Justice legal liaison advisor to the French Ministry of Justice.  Mr. Cohen is highly-rated in Chambers, where practitioners and clients have noted that he “is very, very good at getting the big picture . . . understanding where his clients want to be, which leads to better strategic judgments,” he has “incredibly strong substantive depth melded with a risk-based practicality,” “strong trial skills and handling of large-scale investigations,” is “very, very smart and very knowledgeable,” and praised his ability to “handle very intense, complex matters with regulatory authorities and really just deliver great results.”  Mr. Cohen has been repeatedly named a leading white collar criminal defense attorney by The Best Lawyers in America©, a “Litigation Star” and national Top 100 Trial Lawyer by Benchmark Litigation, an “MVP” by Law360, one of the world’s leading practitioners in White Collar Crime in Legal Media Group’s Expert Guides – White Collar Crime, a “Super Lawyer” in Criminal Litigation, by Global Investigations Review, and his work has been noted by Legal 500 in the areas of white collar criminal defense and securities litigation.

Mr. Cohen has achieved significant victories pretrial and at trial in many high-profile matters, including:

  • Obtaining both an extremely rare pretrial dismissal in United States v. Morgan (WDNY 2020), a $500 million federal criminal indictment against developer, Robert Morgan, after a three year battle with the DOJ, and the settlement of related SEC allegations in SEC v. Morgan (WDNY 2020), with no admission of fault or financial penalties. The American Lawyer, featuring Mr. Cohen and his team, noted that the extremely rare dismissal was built on a meticulous unraveling of government missteps and that it is “often unsexy work that leads to sexy results in white-collar defense work.”
  • Winning a jury trial in the closely watched Securities and Exchange Commission v. Obus insider trading matter on behalf of Wynnefield Capital and Nelson Obus, its chief portfolio manager after a 12 year battle with the SEC. The American Lawyer named Mr. Cohen as one of its Litigators of the Week after the victory and he later was featured in The American Lawyer’s 2016 award of “White Collar/Regulatory Law Firm of the Year” to Gibson Dunn for his Obus trial victory.  Noting that his client was “in awe” of his trial and cross examination skills, The American Lawyer linked the trial victory with the SEC’s decision days after the defense verdict to avoid jury trials and seek administrative actions in the future.
  • Obtaining summary judgment for Citi in a class action seeking more than $13 billion in damages for its alleged role in the Parmalat collapse.
  • Winning a jury trial for AllianceBernstein in which the Florida state pension fund attempted to recover $3.2 billion in losses sustained in Enron and other stocks, and successfully defending the same client in other significant Enron-related litigation, one of which resulted in an award of attorney’s fees and costs for his client.

From 1992 to 1999, Mr. Cohen served as Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, supervising the Business/Securities Fraud Unit, where he received numerous awards from the Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies.

Mr. Cohen received his bachelor’s degree from Middlebury College, his master’s degree in History from Duke University and his Juris Doctor from Duke University Law School, where he was a moot court champion.  He is a member of the bars of New York and Massachusetts.

Mr. Cohen is committed to pro bono work.  He serves on the board of or acts as outside counsel to several prominent nonprofit entities, including as Board Chairman for Lawyers Without Borders, Jericho Project, and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice.  He successfully led a team of Gibson Dunn attorneys in representing all plaintiffs in a high-profile immigration civil rights case (Barrera v. Boughton) in Connecticut federal court, which resulted in the largest settlement in history for such claims, for which Gibson Dunn was awarded the National Legal Aid & Defender Association’s Beacon of Justice Award, and The New York Times noted the accomplishment in an editorial, and his team received the National Law Journal’s Hot Pro Bono designation. In addition, the National Center for Law and Economic Justice awarded the Gibson Dunn team led by Mr. Cohen the Pro Bono Leadership Award for their work behalf of Migrant Justice and individual Migrant Justice members against ICE and Vermont authorities who allegedly stifled their First Amendment rights. He recently has been lead counsel for several New York City and Buffalo community groups advocating for public disclosure of police disciplinary records.  He is a 2020 recipient of the ”Responsible 100” award from City & State for his contributions as a “socially responsible leader in New York.”
