Schulte Roth & Zabel

Primarily known and celebrated as a New York entity with a significant stronghold on the private equity and hedge fund industry, Schulte Roth & Zabel made a lucrative foray into the life sciences field when it lured prominent white-collar specialist Adam Hoffinger to its smaller and newer DC office (from that city's Morrison & Foerster outpost) in 2014. "Time will tell how that plays out in the long run, but Adam Hoffinger is still Adam Hoffinger, and that name packs a punch. And he does actual criminal representations, not just quasi-criminal investigations and enforcement, but real hard-core 'dirty work.' He's got a lot of war stories he could tell."
