About Eric Corngold

I am a white collar attorney with over thirty years of experience both in the public and private sectors. As co-head of Friedman Kaplan’s white collar department, I represent businesses, their executives, and their employees during federal and state criminal investigations, as well as in regulatory matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal and state government agencies. I also conduct internal investigations for corporations and other institutions on behalf of officers, boards of directors, and audit committees. Some of my recent work includes representation of Chuck Blazer, a member of FIFA’s Executive Committee and a founder of organized American soccer in connection with investigations by the FBI, DOJ, and IRS; a multinational food corporation in connection with an ongoing investigation by the New York Attorney General; and the Board of Directors of a company that is the subject of a multilayer investigation being conducted by the DOJ and the SEC.Prior to joining Friedman Kaplan, I was a prosecutor in New York for twenty-five years, most recently serving as New York State\'s Executive Deputy Attorney General for Economic Justice. Prior to that, I was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York for more than a decade, where I served as the office\'s Chief Assistant United States Attorney from 2005 to 2007, and the Chief of the office\'s Business and Securities Frauds Unit from to 2005.
