April 25, 2023

Clark Smith Villazor LLP, launched earlier this month, is pleased to announce that Jeff Rotenberg has joined the firm as a partner. Rotenberg comes to Clark Smith Villazor after over a decade as a partner and leading financial services litigator in the New York office of a large international law firm. He brings extensive experience and a track record of success representing public and private companies and individuals across a wide range of high-stakes matters, frequently involving multi-jurisdictional and cross-border issues.

Rotenberg’s recent highlights include securing the dismissal of a securities class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as lead counsel for the Spain headquartered issuer defendant, and successfully arguing before the Second Circuit for affirmance of an order of dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction on behalf of two Lebanese commercial banks in a litigation relating to Lebanon’s financial crisis.
