Rachel Maimin is a white collar criminal defense and civil litigator who spent nearly nine years as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) before joining Lowenstein Sandler to defend corporations, executives, and financial institutions facing the full spectrum of criminal and civil exposure. She served as senior prosecutor in United States v. Michael Cohen and led the largest gang prosecution in New York City history, earning the U.S. Department of Justice's highest honor, the David Margolis Award for Exceptional Service. She now brings that prosecutorial insight to clients navigating DOJ investigations, SEC and FINRA enforcement actions, internal investigations, complex civil and commercial claims, and federal trials.

Recognized by Chambers USA and The Legal 500, Rachel represents corporate entities and individuals targeted by the DOJ, the SEC, FINRA, and other regulators involving allegations of insider trading, securities fraud, wire and bank fraud, honest services fraud, racketeering, extortion, and bribery, among other offenses. She advises startups, large financial institutions, financial services firms, technology companies, and other clients across the country and overseas (along with their executives and boards) facing federal and state governmental inquiries as well as civil claims. She also leads internal corporate investigations concerning potential criminal violations, employee misconduct, and cybersecurity breaches. 

Rachel works extensively with investment funds, startups, and public companies to minimize their risk through compliance reviews and trainings and by designing effective internal policies and protocols in areas including AML and anti-corruption. She also maintains a robust civil litigation practice, representing corporations and executives in cases involving allegations of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud. 

As Assistant U.S. Attorney in the SDNY’s Violent and Organized Crime and Public Corruption Units, Rachel was responsible for investigating and prosecuting matters relating to complex financial crimes such as fraud and money laundering, as well as large and complex criminal organizations engaged in racketeering, narcotics, and violent offenses. She argued numerous appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 

Prior to her work for the government, Rachel practiced litigation at two prominent firms in New York City. She also clerked for the Hon. Joseph F. Bianco of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
