DAVID I. GREENBERGER became a Liddle & Robinson partner on January 1, 2005. Mr. Greenberger has represented clients in various types of securities and employment law related matters, including investor fraud and mismanagement, compensation, employment disputes, regulatory inquiries, whistleblower claims, restrictive covenant cases, and defamation and tortious interference claims. He has litigated in both civil and regulatory forums to successful conclusions on behalf of his clients.

Most recently, in February 2006, Mr. Greenberger was a member of the Liddle & Robinson trial team that won a landmark $1 million jury verdict for Philip Spartis, a former Citigroup stockbroker based in Atlanta, Georgia, on defamation and false light/invasion of privacy claims against Stuart C. Goldberg, an attorney who published false and defamatory allegations concerning Mr. Spartis on his web site. The web site was designed to solicit clients who would, in turn, bring claims against Mr. Spartis and Citigroup regarding the management of their brokerage accounts. The verdict, one of the first of its type in the country, included $600,000 in punitive damages and $400,000 in compensatory damages.

Mr. Greenberger also has significant experience in the representation of securities industry professionals involved in both regulatory investigations and prosecutions by the New York Stock Exchange and NASD, and defense of claims brought by former customers. Indeed, Mr. Greenberger was a member of the Liddle & Robinson team that recently successfully defended Mr. Spartis in an arbitration brought by Deborah Surrette, a former SSB customer. In that case, the NYSE Panel, after a 7-day hearing, issued an October 17, 2005 Award dismissing all of Ms. Surrette’s claim and assessing all of the $20,850 in forum fees against her. Notably, the Panel also ordered the expungement of the arbitration from Mr. Spartis's regulatory record, stating that "after 13 hearing sessions, the panel orders that all references of this arbitration matter be expunged from Philip Spartis' CRD records as he was not involved in the alleged investment sales practice violation and the allegations are erroneous." In 2003, Mr. Greenberger was a member of the Liddle & Robinson team that successfully defended a client against NYSE regulatory charges (“In the Matter of X”).

Since 2002, Mr. Greenberger has represented a number of Liddle & Robinson clients in cases relating to the investigation into Wall Street conflicts of interest with regard to research analyst ratings and the allocation of IPO shares. His work on these matters has been commended in, among other places, Newsweek magazine and the book "Blood on the Street."

Mr. Greenberger received a B.S. from Cornell University in 1996 and a J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1999. While at Georgetown, Mr. Greenberger was a member of The Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, and his Note "An Overview of the Ethical Implications of the Classified Information Procedures Act" was published by the Journal in Fall 1998. Mr. Greenberger also participated in Georgetown's Law Students in Court Trial Advocacy Clinical Program.

Mr. Greenberger is a member of the New York State and District of Columbia Bars, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern District of New York.
