Mr. Rose specializes in complex commercial litigation, securities litigation, SEC and other governmental and regulatory investigations, accounting irregularities, internal investigations, and employment litigation and counseling. He has extensive experience representing public and private companies, officers and directors, hedge funds, and accounting firms in federal, state, and bankruptcy courts throughout the United States.  Mr. Rose has represented clients in various industries, including financial services, health care, insurance and reinsurance, media and entertainment, manufacturing, and real estate.  He has earned the honor and distinction of being listed as a "Rising Star in Business Litigation" in New York Super Lawyers—Metro Edition on multiple occasions.
