Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello P.C.

More informationMore information

Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello P.C. is a New York-based litigation boutique with a long history in white-collar defense, regulatory enforcement, business and securities litigation, and it continues to have a prominent role in class actions, derivative suits and civil securities fraud cases. Practice head Edward Spiro and Robert Anello are the standout partners, particularly in white-collar matters, though they both have broad practices that encompass complex securities cases. Key partner Elkan Abramowitz is also highly regarded for white-collar criminal defense, as is emerging partner talent and former federal prosecutor Christopher Harwood. The firm recently acted for the former CFO of oil logistics company Aegean Marine in a class action concerning a $200 million write-off. In that case, Brian Jacobs secured a favourable settlement for the client.
