Area of Practice: White Collar Criminal Defense & Complex Civil Litigation Mr. Janey has substantial litigation experience that is on regular display at courthouses across the country where he is either admitted to courts in those jurisdictions or admitted for those particular cases.

He has also appeared pro hac vice in federal and state courts in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Alabama, as well as California and Nevada. Mr. Janey’s litigation experience in financial services and securities litigation is noteworthy and has been reflected in his ability to successfully navigate challenging legal issues in both complex civil matters, including SEC investigations that were resolved prior to any enforcement actions being filed, and white-collar defense matters involving allegations based on intricate financial transactions. Mr. Janey is defense counsel in the largest automotive-oriented private equity fund fraud in the history of the United States. In 2018, Mr. Janey co-led with his former partner Robert Gottlieb the Ponzi scheme trial of sports radio talk show host, Craig Carton, resulting in a substantially reduced sentence from the Government’s recommendation to the court. Over the past 8 years, Mr. Janey has increasingly become a “go-to” lawyer by individuals and wholesale distributors across the United States from the healthcare industry in either complex civil matters where they have been sued by large pharmaceutical companies for trademark infringement or trafficking in counterfeit product as well as those charged by law enforcement in federal prosecutions for violating healthcare fraud statutes, such as violating the federal anti-kickback statute. In this area, Mr. Janey has successfully blocked the attempt by a large pharmaceutical company to seize assets of a judgment debtor in the post-judgment collection phase of the litigation. He also successfully defeated civil RICO and fraud claims by large pharmaceutical companies. In the white-collar context, in 2022, Mr. Janey co-led the historic criminal trial of Larry Doud, the former chief executive officer of Rochester Drug Cooperative who was charged with drug-trafficking in connection with his business selling controlled substances to pharmacies in the face of what the Government alleged to be “red flags” of diversion. In 2022, Mr. Janey was recognized for excellence by Super Lawyers. He has been recognized as one of America’s Top 100 “high stakes” litigators. In both 2022 and 2021, Mr. Janey was listed in the New York Times as among the Lawyers of Distinction’s “Power Lawyers.” In 2017, the New York Law Journal named Mr. Janey as among the 22 “Distinguished Leaders” in the New York legal industry.
