Jessie Gabriel works smartly and tirelessly to resolve investment disputes for her clients, which include private investment funds, public issuers, boards of directors and C-level executives. She also counsels her clients on ways to reduce regulatory and litigation exposure through well-crafted compliance programs, investor agreements, insurance policies and corporate documents. Jessie is a frequent commentator on the changing landscape of securities litigation and private fund compliance, and how companies benefit from an industry-based approach to legal services. She leads the firm's Private Funds Regulation and Litigation team.
Jessie believes that management skills are just as important as substantive legal knowledge. Drawing from her previous career in economics, she demands strong project management and efficient, cost-effective utilization of resources in all her cases. Jessie has a natural ability to execute a legal strategy while coordinating large teams of attorneys and outside vendors, most notably in her representation of Irving H. Picard, the Trustee for the global liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. She has managed the Trustee's claims against Madoff's largest hedge fund investor and his primary banker. Jessie co-chairs the Women's Steering Committee for the New York office and is on the Board of Directors of New Destiny Housing, a non-profit organization that develops housing for families victimized by domestic violence.
