Andrew J. Entwistle is the Firm’s managing partner. The son of a Scottish coal miner and an American schoolteacher, he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame and his law degree from the University of Syracuse College of Law. Mr. Entwistle’s practice principally involves the representation of public and private institutional investors and public and private corporations in complex litigation (including both the prosecution and defense of securities and antitrust cases), corporate finance and transactional matters and internal investigations.
After a brief tenure in the District Attorney’s office, Mr. Entwistle became a lead trial and appellate attorney at Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, trying a broad variety of products liability, commercial, securities, insurance coverage and reinsurance, antitrust and government-related matters. During the following years with Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, Mr. Entwistle’s trial and appellate practice also came to include transaction-related litigation, antitrust and bankruptcy work and internal investigations. Mr. Entwistle also works closely with the governors, treasurers and attorneys general of several states. In connection with the firm’s corporate practice, Mr. Entwistle has acted as lead counsel on joint ventures, restructurings, venture capital placements and a multi-billion dollar leveraged buyout.

Securities and ERISA Litigation resulting in recovery of more than $1.1B for his clients; acting as co-lead counsel in the MF Global litigation arising out of the loss of $1.6B in customer funds where Mr. Entwistle successfully worked with the SIPA Trustee and regulators to negotiate the 100 percent recovery by customers of all net equity losses (including separate recoveries totaling more than $100m against JPMC and the CME); successfully co-leading the JPMC settlement that resulted in contemporaneously negotiated resolutions of class, claw back and regulatory claims recovering a total of $2.243B for Madoff victims with net losses; and co-leading the ongoing Tremont litigation that resolved claw back litigation through an agreement that resulted in a $2.9B allowed SIPA claim for Tremont customers (and the recovery of more than $100m in additional settlements).  On the defense side, Mr. Entwistle was recently appointed by Judge Pauley as co-liaison counsel in the multi-billion dollar Tribune litigation which successfully resulted in dismissal of the Note Holder litigation.
Mr. Entwistle and his team also regularly represent corporate boards, audit and special committees in connection with internal investigations involving potential regulatory and/or criminal issues–often in “bet the company” situations where it is particularly important for regulators to understand that the investigation is being led by a team equally familiar with prevailing in billion dollar matters from both sides of the “v”.
Appointed by the late Judge Lifland of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to serve on the Court’s Special Mediation Panel, Mr. Entwistle has both mediated and actively litigated a number of complex bankruptcy matters including representing the Retired Employees Committee in the OMC Bankruptcy, equity holders in the American Bank Note Bankruptcy, the State of Florida in connection with the Enron Bankruptcy, acting as special litigation counsel in connection with the Global Crossing Bankruptcy, and representing investors in connection with the MF Global, Refco, Lehman, and BMIS bankruptcies.
