In this role, he applies his extensive knowledge of antitrust, anti-corruption, cyber security, internal investigations, and privacy laws.

Over the course of his career, among the incidents Rossfeld has managed are major global cyber security events including breaches of medical data that were resolved without regulatory fines. Notably, he also helped lead one of his companies to World’s Most Ethical Company™ status. As a litigator he has secured victories for clients that include winning over a billion dollars for a client in a major multi-country antitrust matter, achieving a complete victory for a retail client who broke a multimillion-dollar lease, and obtaining a 9-figure settlement for clients in a lawsuit against a major video game company. He has been recognized in the media for his work as a litigator, most recently by the Los Angeles Business Journal’s Who’s Who in Law and Leaders of Influence: Litigators & Trial Attorneys, which reflects the  “very best litigators and trial attorneys in the region.” Rossfeld has testified before state legislative bodies on matters of law and public policy.
