Andrew J. Levander focuses his practice on high-profile white collar investigations and complex litigation. A former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in the Securities and Commodities Fraud Unit, Mr. Levander is consistently recognized for excellence in the practice of law. Mr. Levander is a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, which is widely considered to be the premier professional trial organization in the United States. Since 2004, he has been cited as a leading lawyer by Chambers USA, a referral guide to leading lawyers in the United States based on the opinions of their peers and clients. In 2022, he was recognized by Law360 - for the eighth time - as a â€œWhite Collar MVPâ€� for his headline-making representations. In 2018, he was named as a â€œLitigator of the Yearâ€� by The American Lawyer for being a lawyer who has, â€œreshaped the law, the industries in which their clients operate and the way their colleagues in the bar approach cases.â€� He has also been honored by Law360, The Best Lawyers in America, Benchmark Litigation and The Legal 500 for his litigation skills. Mr. Levander served as Chair of Dechertâ€™s Policy Committee from 2011 to 2023.
\n
Chambers has noted that Mr. Levander is â€œwidely acknowledged as one of the countryâ€™s preeminent white- collar defense attorneys,â€� with commentators praising him as being â€œa superstar and a terrific lawyerâ€� and â€œa forceful advocate and a formidable opponent who is at the top of the profession.â€� Mr. Levander is designated as a â€œStar Individualâ€� for white collar crime and government investigations in New York and described as a â€œan outstanding defense lawyer and an extremely zealous defender of his clientsâ€¦ offer [ing] the full rounded package of hard-working, practical, respected and deeply analytical.â€� He is also recognized by Chambers USA for securities litigation and enforcement, most recently in Band 1 for securities enforcement where he was referred to as â€œone of the strongest lawyers in the country for securities enforcement workâ€¦ [and] highly adept at matters involving allegations of FCPA violations, money laundering and accounting fraud, among othersâ€� and â€œincredibly effective and certainly someone that clients go to with their most challenging situations.\"
\n
Mr. Levander is also named to Global Investigations Reviewâ€™s list of â€œWhoâ€™s Who Legal Investigationsâ€� in 2023, which notes that Mr. Levander â€œhas built a formidable business crime practice, and is sought out by top executives to represent themâ€¦ [he] sits among the finest white-collar crime lawyers the US market has to offer, and brings significant experience as a former assistant US attorney to his cases.â€� Clients and peers state that Mr. Levander is â€œan exceptionally intelligent lawyerâ€� and â€œcontinues to be a preeminent name in the field.â€�
\n
In addition, Mr. Levander is recognized as a â€œHall of Fameâ€� lawyer in the corporate investigations and white collar criminal defense sections of The Legal 500, which notes that he is repeatedly singled out as a â€œridiculously goodâ€� lawyer who has â€œvisibility and big-ticket clients.â€� The Legal 500 also recommends Mr. Levander for his general commercial disputes and securities shareholder litigation practice.
\n
Mr. Levander was recognized by Law360 as a â€œWhite Collar MVPâ€� for his headline-making representations in 2022â€”an honor he has received numerous times. In 2014, Mr. Levander received the Milton S. Gould Award for Outstanding Oral Advocacy by the Office of the Appellate Defender. In 2016, Mr. Levander received the Norman S. Ostrow Award from The New York Council of Defense Lawyers for fighting for his clients with vigor, dignity and expertise. In addition, his successful defense of Michael Rigas in a six-month criminal trial in 2004 arising out of the collapse of Adelphia Communications was named to the â€œTop Cases of 2004â€� by New York Law Journal Magazine.
\n
Mr. Levander represents parties in both securities fraud and commercial litigation as well as criminal and regulatory investigations. In the maelstrom of investigations and litigation arising out of the world financial crisis, he was retained to represent such high-profile clients as Robert Diamond, former CEO of Barclays, Lehman Brothersâ€™ outside directors and John Thain, former CEO of Merrill Lynch. Since then, Mr. Levander has been integrally involved in the management of headline crises for many diverse clients such as representing David Geffen (insider trading investigation closed in 2024); Michael Steinhardt (three year investigation of ancient art collection closed in 2022 without criminal charges); the Special Board Committee of Apollo (2020-21 investigation of the relationship between the founder and former CEO of Apollo and Jeffrey Epstein); Interactive Brokers (coordinated settlement of multiple investigations of AML issues by the SEC, CFTC and FINRA); Takata Corporation (airbag recalls); Twenty-First Century Fox (multiple sexual harassment claims and more recently, defending Fox from antitrust claims by Fubo and obtaining a full voluntary dismissal of claims by Hunter Biden); Jon S. Corzine (MF Global collapse); Hewlett-Packardâ€™s special counsel committee (Hurd termination investigation); and Ezra Merkin (Madoff scandal). Mr. Levander has regularly defended many prominent companies or their officers, directors and affiliates, including AmerisourceBergen, Arbor Realty, Arconic, Blockchain.com, Carta, CHC Group Ltd., Fox, General Motors, GlaxoSmithKline, HNA Capital International, Hertz, Hewlett-Packard, MacAndrews & Forbes, Microsoft, Millennium, Motorola, M + W Group AG, NCR Corporation, News Corp, Omega Healthcare, Open AI, PPG Industries, Valeant Inc., and Walmart.
\n
He has also advised many of the leading financial institutions or their affiliates such as AIG, Aon, Arbor Realty Trust, Bank of NY, Barclays, Cerberus, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Emigrant Savings Bank, GLG Man Group, Goldman Sachs, Insight Venture Management, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Millennium, Morgan Stanley, the NYSE, RCS Capital Management LLC, Riverstone Holdings, Societe Generale, and UBS. For example, he recently beat back a temporary retraining order and preliminary injunction sought by Jane Street in a trade secret case against client Millennium. During the last two years, he also successfully represented a senior officer of FTX in multiple investigations, none of which resulted in charges against his client. He also guided a senior person at Morgan Stanley through a block trading investigation that was settled by the investment bank in 2023 without any charges against his client. In 2012, he led the defense of Deutsche Bank in a billion dollar False Claims Act case brought by the United States Attorneyâ€™s Office of the Southern District of New York; and, in 2006, he negotiated a successful global settlement for BAWAG, Austriaâ€™s fourth largest bank, with Refcoâ€™s debtors, creditors, shareholders, bondholders and investors, as well as with the SEC and the Department of Justice.
\n
Mr. Levander has tried more than 80 cases, including several complex arbitrations. Drawing on his experience as a law clerk to the Honorable Wilfred Feinberg in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and as an Assistant to the Solicitor General, he also has an extensive appellate practice in both federal and state courts.Â Indeed, he argued his first case before the United States Supreme Court at age 25, which makes him the youngest advocate ever to appear before that Court. He has litigated in courts across the country and has arbitrated before the American Arbitration Association, CPR, JAMS, the New York Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, UNCITRAL and private arbitrators. Mr. Levander also has extensive international litigation experience and has handled numerous investigations arising under the FCPA, the False Claims Act and similar statutes.
\n
Mr. Levander has had numerous notable victories in various courtrooms across the country. Last year, Mr. Levander succeeded in overturning a corporate election in Delaware Chancery Court following trial, paving the way for his client to assume control of the company.Â In late 2023, after a week-long hearing, he successfully defended two individuals and their companies in a purported nursing home healthcare fraud case brought by the NYAG in Nassau County Supreme Court. In 2019, he defended Grupo ULMA, a Spanish manufacturing company, in a three-week unfair trade practice jury trial in Houston, Texas, defeating the vast majority of the hometown manufacturersâ€™ claims. Additionally, in 2014, Mr. Levander successfully obtained a permanent injunction for a prominent New York real estate developer in a US$350 million contract dispute tried in Delaware Chancery Court.
\n
In September 2012, following a two-week bench trial, the New York Supreme Court rendered a sweeping victory to Mr. Levanderâ€™s clients, Ruby Schron and various entities he controls, in connection with a complex set of litigations involving the ownership and control of a multi-billion dollar nursing-home empire. Following three days of cross-examination by Mr. Levander, the Court expressly found that our adversaries were â€œevasiveâ€� and â€œmendaciousâ€� and that their explanations on the witness stand were incredible â€œprevaricationsâ€� entitled to no weight. Subsequently, the lead adversary pleaded guilty to perjury related to that case and was disbarred.
\n
Mr. Levander has also been successfully involved in numerous mediations and arbitrations. In 2025, Mr. Levander obtained a highly favorable settlement in the run up to the arbitration of a contract and fraud Â suit between media titans. In recent years, Mr. Levander also won complete victories for a leading private equity firm against a former partner and for Emigrant Bank against a joint venture partner. Another notable arbitration includes a multi-million dollar settlement in a private arbitration between two well-known investment banks involving a complex US$100 million dispute arising out of the sale of a business; another includes a complete vindication of SkyLink Aviation, Inc., a Canadian company that provides helicopter and other aviation services around the world, in an international arbitration against the United Nations.
\n
Together with Judge Hector Gonzalez of the Eastern District of New York, Mr. Levander teaches a seminar on white collar investigations at Columbia Law School. He has written extensively on legal issues and co-authored Prevention and Prosecution of High Technology Crime, published by Matthew Bender, and Settlement Agreements in Commercial Disputes, published by Aspen Law & Business. He also contributed the chapter, â€œAttorney-Client Privilege and Attorney Work Product Protectionâ€� to Successful Partnering Between Inside and Outside Counsel, published by Thomson Reuters Westlaw and the Association of Corporate Counsel, as well as a chapter in Latin Lawyerâ€™s Guide to Corporate Crisis Management on representing individual executives in Latin America. For many years, he served as an adjunct professor of trial practice at New York University, and he has lectured at Georgetown University Law Center, Yale Law School, Penn Law School, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the ABA White Collar Crime Institute, SIFMA, the Practising Law Institute, and various bar associations and government agencies. He is a former chair of the Bar Association of the City of New Yorkâ€™s Committee on Securities Litigation Professional Issues Subcommittee.
