Amos Kim handles complex commercial litigation matters for clients in a wide range of industries. He is currently a member of the BakerHostetler team serving as court-appointed counsel to Trustee Irving H. Picard for the SIPA liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, an unprecedented recovery effort involving hundreds of actions.
In addition to experience in all areas of pre-trial litigation, including legal research, drafting and arguing dispositive and evidentiary motions, Amos also has an extensive background in discovery, having taken and defended over 250 depositions as an Assistant Corporation Counsel for the New York City Law Department. In that capacity, he also appeared before four judges and represented the city in over 300 cases.
Amos acquired experience in many areas of the law during his year-long clerkship with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. He credits his eight years in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear machinist mate and engine room supervisor on a submarine for the focus, discipline and drive that he employs for every client and every case.
