Joshua D. Glatter
Counsel
Throughout his career, Joshua Glatter’s practice has centered upon complex civil
litigation on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in courts nationwide in a
wide array of disputes.
Prior to joining the Firm, Mr. Glatter was a member of Osen LLC, where his practice
centered on anti-money laundering issues, civil counter-terrorism lawsuits, and
complex civil litigation, engaging in all phases of litigation. Mr. Glatter served
as a member of the plaintiffs’ trial team in Linde, et al v. Arab Bank, PLC (E.D.N.Y.),
the first civil lawsuit under the federal Anti-Terrorism Act against a financial
institution to ever proceed to a jury trial. After a nearly six week trial on liability
issues, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, holding the defendant –
the Kingdom of Jordan’s largest bank – liable for injuries to U.S. nationals and
their families that resulted from 24 attacks attributable to the designated Foreign
Terrorist Organization Hamas. Mr. Glatter also played a significant role in other
financial litigations, including serving on the appellate team in Weiss v. National
Westminster Bank, PLC (2d Cir.), and obtaining a reversal of the trial court’s earlier
grant of summary judgment to that defendant.
Before his tenure at Osen LLC, Mr. Glatter practiced with other prominent firms
in New York, where he gained experience in securities and consumer fraud, contract
and tort disputes, and white collar criminal defense litigation. From 2000 to 2006,
he was associated with Harwood Feffer LLP, where, among other matters, he played
a significant role in In re Safety-Kleen Corp. S’holders Litigation (D.S.C.), a
complex accounting manipulation class action that settled for $54.5 million. He
also served as a key member and brief writer on the Alessi v. Beracha (Del. Ch.)
litigation team that resulted in significant decisions of first impression from
federal and state courts concerning pre-emption under the Securities Litigation
Uniform Standards Act, and the absence of bright-line “price and structure” rules
in connection with breach of fiduciary claims concerning secret merger negotiations.
Mr. Glatter also has experience in defense-side representations, including representing
senior officers of publicly traded companies in connection with simultaneous civil,
criminal, and regulatory lawsuits.
Mr. Glatter received his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School
in 1994, and earned his undergraduate degree with academic distinction from the
State University of New York at Binghamton University in 1991. After graduating
from law school, Mr. Glatter served as a law clerk for the Hon. Tina L. Brozman
of the United State Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Mr.
Glatter has co-authored two articles concerning ERISA fiduciary obligations for
claims administrators and has also published several online articles addressing
national security issues and consumer fraud matters.
