Reed Brodsky, a Southern District assistant U.S. attorney who has played a prominent role in high-profile insider trading prosecutions, is expected to join Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in coming weeks, according to several news reports. Brodsky, 43, is one of the government lawyers responsible for securing the convictions of Galleon Group hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam and former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta.
A graduate of Vanderbilt Law School, Brodsky joined the federal prosecutor’s office in Manhattan in 2004 after a seven-year stint working on securities enforcement and white-collar defense cases in Washington, D.C., first with Crowell & Moring and later with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr.
