Friends:

Singer Deutsch LLP is delighted to announce that on January 3, 2018, the Firm marked the 15-Year
anniversary of its formation.

Founded by Georgetown Law School alumni John D. Singer, Esq. and Michael C. Deutsch, Esq., the Firm
maintains offices in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Mr. Singer, who graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1992, started his legal career
as a litigator at Rosenman & Colin in New York City (now, Katten Muchin Rosenman). In 1996, Mr.
Singer, a Member of both the New York and California Bars, joined Proskauer Rose in New York. He
moved to Proskauer Rose’s Los Angeles office in 2001.

Mr. Deutsch, who also graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1992, started his legal
career as a litigator at Braverman & Associates (now, Braverman & Greenspun). In 1995, Mr. Deutsch, a
Member of both the New York and New Jersey Bars, and Scott Greenspun, Esq. -- formerly an attorney
with Willkie Farr & Gallagher -- founded Eclipse Sports Management, a sports agency representing
professional ice hockey players from around the world.

Both Mr. Singer and Mr. Deutsch are designated as Martindale-Hubbell “AV Preeminent” ranked
attorneys by their peers in the areas of Labor, Employment, Litigation and Securities Law.

Mr. Singer and Mr. Deutsch, each of whom are FINRA Arbitrators, have also been designated as "New
York Super Lawyers,” having been chosen for this distinction by both their peers and through
independent research conducted by Law & Politics. Only five percent of New York metro attorneys have
been named to the list.

Singer Deutsch LLP represents individuals in both arbitrations and litigations against their former
employers and in investigations or enforcement proceedings conducted by the Securities and
Commodities regulators. Singer Deutsch LLP also represents individual investors against brokerage
firms, financial advisors, investment advisors, and financial planners.

In connection with the Firm's nationwide employment law practice, the Firm represents high-level
individuals affiliated primarily with the Securities and Commodities industries, such as Wall Street
traders, investment bankers, private bankers, hedge fund executives, private equity fund executives,
research analysts, portfolio managers, financial advisors, brokers, wealth managers, financial planners,
wholesalers, compliance personnel, operations personnel, and hedge fund marketers. The Firm
represents these individuals in both arbitrations and litigations against their former employers and in
investigations or enforcement proceedings conducted by the Securities and Commodities regulators.

With respect to the Firm's nationwide representation of Securities and Commodities professionals
against their former employers, the claims typically involve bonus disputes, wrongful terminations, U-5
defamation, failures to pay compensation (oftentimes involving deferred compensation and stock
options), sexual harassment, whistle-blowing, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, race
discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, national
origin discrimination, libel, and slander. These actions are typically arbitrated at FINRA (formerly the
NYSE or NASD); they are sometimes litigated in Court (Title VII actions and actions involving the Human
Rights Laws) and are sometimes arbitrated and/or mediated at the AAA and JAMS as well. The Firm's
clients range in title from Associate to Senior Managing Director/Partner. The Firm also represents
FINRA member firms against other member firms in disputes emanating from unlawful solicitations,
tortious interferences with business relations, and trading errors.

Singer Deutsch LLP negotiates multi-million dollar (and other) employment agreements and
separation/severance agreements for its clients. The Firm also represents high-profile individuals in the
entertainment industry including, but not limited to, senior record label executives, music managers,
models, actresses, producers, television personalities, and world-renowned authors, as well as high-
profile individuals in other industries, in connection with employment disputes with their former
employers, contract negotiations, and commercial litigation disputes.

With respect to the Firm’s nationwide representation of Securities and Commodities professionals who
are under investigation by the Securities and Commodities regulators, the issues range from market-
timing, late-day trading, front-running, "selling away," structuring, money laundering, cherry-picking,
expense fraud, and unauthorized, outside business activities to sales-practices issues (unsuitability and
churning), forgery, and insider trading.

In connection with the Firm's nationwide representation of individual investors, the Firm handles
diverse, complex matters against investment banks, brokerage firms, hedge funds, financial planners,
financial advisors, and investment advisors emanating from investment-related losses. These matters
typically involve unsuitable investing, breaches of fiduciary duties, negligence, churning, material
misrepresentations, unauthorized trading, material omissions, "selling-away," failures to supervise, blue-
sky violations, and fraud. The Firm represents these individual investors nationwide in FINRA, NFA, AAA,
and JAMS Arbitrations.

The Firm’s attorneys have appeared frequently on CNBC (“Power Lunch,” “Squawk on the Street,” The
“Call,” “Closing Bell,” "Nightly Business Report," etc.), Bloomberg, MSNBC, the Fox Business Network,
NBC's Today Show, ABC's Good Morning America, CNN, PBS, Yahoo Finance, and NPR as legal analysts
and commentators concerning issues relating primarily to Wall Street and the Financial Services
industries. The Firm’s attorneys have also been interviewed by a number of publications including, but
not limited to, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Registered Representative, Advisor Hub, The Deal,
Reuters, the National Law Journal, the New York Post, Crain’s, Investors’ Dealers’ Digest, Business Week,
Smart Money, the Financial Times, Fortune and others.

After opening its New York City office in January 2003, the Firm opened its Los Angeles office in 2007
and its San Francisco office in 2009.

In 2017, Peter I. Minton, Esq. and Kyle M. Zeller, Esq. became Of Counsel to the Firm.

Mr. Minton -- a Georgetown University Law Center graduate and former Schulte, Roth & Zabel
Corporate Attorney -- represents, amongst others, venture capitalists, angel investors and the startups
and emerging businesses in which they invest in their transactional needs, including raising capital,
mergers & acquisitions and exit opportunities. Mr. Minton received his undergraduate degree from the
University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Zeller -- a University of Virginia Law School graduate and former King & Spalding Intellectual
Property Attorney -- concentrates primarily on intellectual property matters relating to patents,
copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. Mr. Zeller received his undergraduate degree from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

During the 15 years of its existence, Singer Deutsch LLP has represented former employees and

During its 15 years of existence, Singer Deutsch LLP has handled hundreds of matters and has received a
myriad of monetary awards from Arbitration Panels at FINRA, AAA, and JAMS, including numerous
awards containing substantial punitive damages.

Singer Deutsch LLP's representation of individuals and corporations in matters that have settled and/or
resulted in arbitration awards or court verdicts aggregates to well in excess of 100 million dollars.

Just last week, Singer Deutsch LLP received an extraordinarily favorable Award following a lengthy Los
Angeles FINRA Arbitration, an Award which included Compensatory Damages, Punitive Damages, and
Injunctive Relief.
