Firm expands practice areas with addition of new partner
Manhattan law firm Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas (SSRGA) has announced that Andrew Bauer has joined the firm’s New York office as a partner.
Andrew spent six years as a federal prosecutor with the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, notably as a member of the Securities and Commodities Task Force, leading high-profile cases involving securities fraud and other white-collar crime.
Afterward, he was a partner at a large international firm, specializing in white collar criminal defence, crisis management, litigation and securities enforcement. Andrew then transitioned to in-house roles, serving as general counsel and deputy general counsel to both early- and late-stage fintech companies.
He joins the firm’s existing startups and emerging companies practice group, as well as the firm’s business and corporate practice group. He will also help to lead a general counsel services practice area group, and the practice areas of investigations and white-collar criminal defence, and crisis management and strategic response.
‘We are thrilled to welcome Andrew to SSRGA,’ said Steven Sladkus, SSRGA co-founding partner. ‘He will be instrumental in expanding our capabilities. Andrew will enable us to offer counsel to tech start-ups and their executives in need of day-to-day or strategic legal leadership, as well as those facing a crisis, whether prompted by the government or internally.’
Andrew added: ‘I'm really excited to join the SSRGA team, a firm known for its forward-thinking, innovative strategies and unwavering commitment to excellence. It’s a firm both of entrepreneurs and for entrepreneurs, and I’m thrilled to be part of its impressive growth story.’
