David Abramowicz

David brings a rare combination of deep government enforcement experience and in-house leadership to his representation of clients facing complex criminal, regulatory, and investigative matters. Before joining Pryor Cashman, he spent nearly a decade as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and later led global investigations at a Fortune 500 energy and manufacturing company.

As a federal prosecutor, David specialized in the investigation and prosecution of white-collar and financial crimes, and in appeals. In his white-collar practice, he handled matters involving corporate, securities, healthcare, bankruptcy, and tax fraud; money laundering; public corruption; and cybercrime. Among other significant cases, David investigated and prosecuted a major corporate enforcement action that resulted in more than $1 billion in combined criminal and civil penalties imposed on a multinational technology company, a corporate guilty plea, and the prosecution of individuals for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act-related offenses. In addition to his trial-level work, David spent nearly three years as a deputy chief of the Appeals Unit, supervising scores of criminal appeals.

After leaving government service, David served as executive counsel and head of global investigations at the energy and manufacturing company GE Vernova, where he led high-stakes internal investigations across jurisdictions and advised senior leadership on a broad range of legal and regulatory issues. That company-side experience gives David a practical perspective on managing legal risk, responding to government scrutiny, and aligning investigative and enforcement strategies with business objectives.

Earlier in his legal career, David was a law clerk to the Honorable Amalya L. Kearse of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and a litigation associate at a global law firm.
