Craig’s main practice areas are complex commercial litigation, government and internal investigations, and white collar defense. Craig has been recognized by The American Lawyer as a Litigator of the Week for his work as a jury trial lawyer and by Lawdragon as among the Next Generation of leading litigators. He has represented plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of matters, including theft of trade secrets, securities fraud, contract disputes, racketeering, and asset recovery.
Recently, Craig represented the City of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and BTA Bank in civil litigation against the former mayor of Almaty and the former president of BTA for theft and money laundering. Additionally, he has represented a transportation infrastructure company in civil litigation in a successful recovery relating to the theft of the company’s trade secrets; criminal defendants pro bono, including in jury trials and appeals before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals; and a financial executive in a six-week criminal trial for securities fraud, helping to secure post-trial relief in which the trial judge found that the defendant was likely innocent.
Before joining the firm, Craig served as a law clerk to the Hon. Harold Baer, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and was a post-graduate fellow in the Frank J. Guarini Center on Environmental and Land Use Law at N.Y.U. School of Law.
