    Timothy Cornell focuses on complex litigation, particularly securities fraud, FINRA arbitration and the False Claims Act.

     

    This year, Timothy settled a False Claims Act case against a medical clinic and opioid manufacturer, a lawsuit between a software developer and a Massachusetts university, and, representing two hedge fund, won judgments against three companies, and defended an international bank platform in major SEC litigation. His brief in a multimillion dollar False Claims Act case against a medical device company is now pending before the 9th Circuit. He also advises the second largest non-profit news organization in the U.S.

     

    Timothy enjoyed a career in journalism before heading into law. Writing for the Boston Herald, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and other newspapers, he covered courts, crime and education. While at the Tennessean in Nashville, he uncovered a series of radiation experiments conducted on poor pregnant women during the Cold War that led to a class action lawsuit and a $10 million settlement with Vanderbilt University.

     

    He graduated from the University of Chicago, where he studied with the neoplatonist, Allan Bloom. Later, he graduated cum laude from Cornell Law School, where he was editor-in-chief of Cornell International Law Journal.

     

    He has litigated a wide range of commercial, securities, and False Claims Act cases. Working for the famed lawyer David Boies, Timothy represented a whistleblower against the pharmacy benefit manager Medco that resulted in a $166 million settlement and was named Case of the Month by American Lawyer. He served in the Office of Chief Counsel for the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, where he advised on the regulation of derivatives during the financial crisis.

     

    In addition to his caseload, Timothy is a trustee of Saint-Gaudens Memorial, where he is its vice president and chairs its music committee. He is a member of the Federal Bar Association and the Association of SEC Alumni.
