Rebekah Donaleski, a former prosecutor for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), has recently made a significant career move. Having led many significant cases, notably as a head of the public corruption unit and serving as a senior prosecutor in the terrorism and international narcotics unit, Donaleski has now taken her expertise to the private sector. She has joined the renowned law firm Cooley as a partner in their white collar defense and investigations practice in New York.
This shift in her career trajectory was announced by Cooley last Tuesday. Donaleski’s diverse expertise and experience, ranging from internal and government-facing investigations, complex litigation, to crisis management and trials, will undoubtedly strengthen Cooley’s litigation practice.
Cooley, known for its innovative approach to legal challenges, will benefit from Donaleski’s comprehensive prosecutorial experience. Her tenure at the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, one of the nation’s most prestigious prosecuting offices, will undeniably bring valuable insights and perspectives to her new role at Cooley. Donaleski’s appointment underscores Cooley’s focus on expanding its white-collar defense and investigations practice.
