Amanda Kramer represents corporations and individuals in sensitive, high-stakes government investigations and enforcement actions, white collar criminal defense matters, internal investigations, and workplace culture reviews. Amanda joined the firm in 2019 after serving as Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) for more than 11 years.

As a senior member of SDNY’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, Amanda investigated, prosecuted, and tried several high-profile, complex white collar cases, including those involving securities fraud, insider trading, investment advisor fraud, accounting fraud, honest services fraud, wire fraud, and health care fraud, and coordinated parallel civil enforcement proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a federal prosecutor, she also investigated and prosecuted international and domestic money-laundering, public corruption, tax fraud, obstruction of justice, IEEPA violations, art fraud, and cyber crime, among other offenses.

Before focusing on securities fraud and other white collar crimes, she served as SDNY’s Human Trafficking and Project Safe Childhood Coordinator, where she developed and significantly expanded SDNY’s work on trafficking and sexual misconduct issues, conducted numerous domestic and international trainings, supervised dozens of prosecutors, and led some of the SDNY’s most sensitive cases. In addition to her other responsibilities, for the last four years of her tenure as a federal prosecutor, Amanda was entrusted with conducting trial advocacy training for all new AUSAs in the SDNY’s Criminal Division.

Amanda’s extensive litigation experience includes leading twelve federal criminal jury trials and briefing and arguing numerous appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
