He counsels corporations and individuals in compliance matters, government investigations, and congressional and regulatory matters.

Adam also represents corporations and individuals in high-stakes civil litigation. He conducts internal investigations on behalf of corporate boards of directors, bankruptcy trustees, and public authorities. Adam has defended numerous high-ranking executives and general counsel from some of the world’s largest companies, as well as high-profile staff and members of the Senate, Congress, White House, and various government agencies, faced with federal and state criminal investigations and indictments.

Adam has been recognized in Chambers USA as “an absolutely fearless criminal defense lawyer” as well as for his “immense talent as a trial lawyer” and “strong advocacy skills,” in The Legal 500 US as “an aggressive trial advocate,” and in Benchmark Litigation: The Definitive Guide to America's Leading Litigation Firms and Attorneys as a “celebrated government investigations practitioner.”
