A trial-tested litigator and former federal prosecutor, Jordan brings more than a decade of experience in white collar criminal law, including more than eight years with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, to her work on behalf of clients.

    At the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Jordan served as co-chief of the General Crimes Unit and was a senior member of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. She tried 13 cases to verdict, securing convictions in all of them on charges including securities fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, health care fraud and racketeering offenses. Notable matters include the month-long securities fraud trial of the former executive chairman of an electric vehicle company; the insider trading trial of a former congressman; the securities fraud trial of a CEO involved in a $200 million bond fraud scheme; the month-long wire fraud trial of an executive of a Big Four accounting firm; a health care fraud trial of a pharmacist; and four trials involving racketeering offenses. Jordan also argued multiple cases before the Second Circuit.

    As a member of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, Jordan led investigations and prosecutions of cryptocurrency fraud, accounting fraud, insider trading and bank fraud in a variety of industries. In her role as co-chief of the General Crimes Unit, she supervised dozens of attorneys and hundreds of cases, including cases involving money laundering, tax fraud, health care fraud, and cybercrime.
