James Walden (born January 19, 1966) is an American lawyer.[2][3] After serving in the U.S Department of Justice as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 1993 to 2002, he entered private practice where he was involved in several prominent white-collar and antitrust cases in addition to a series of cases seeking governmental reform. He represents Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's anti-doping laboratory. At one time Walden represented former UFC Lightweight champion Conor McGregor in McGregor's pending court case for felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor assault in Brooklyn, NY.[4] Walden has represented plaintiffs in class action lawsuits suits against the New York City Department of Education[5] and the New York City Housing Authority.[6] He served as Special Counsel[7] to a task force created by the Governor of New Jersey to investigate the administration of the state's tax incentive programs.

Early life and education edit

Walden received his B.A. from Hamilton College.[2] He graduated magna cum laude from Temple University School of Law in 1991 where he was first in his class.[2]

Law career edit

Following law school, Walden clerked for Anthony J. Scirica in the U.S Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Walden then joined the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. He served in this capacity for nearly nine years before turning to private practice.[8] Walden spent three years as a partner with O'Melveny & Myers LLP before joining the New York office of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP in 2006.[9] In 2015, Walden left Gibson Dunn to found Walden Macht & Haran LLP with fellow former prosecutors Timothy Macht and Sean Haran.[10]

Career as a federal prosecutor edit

Heroin trafficking edit

While an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, Walden led the prosecution of Li Yun-chung, a significant figure in an international heroin ring.[11] U.S. Customs authorities conducted the then-largest seizure of heroin in U.S. history on June 20, 1991, in Hayward, California.[12] Approximately three-quarters of a ton of heroin was seized with a street value of $2.5-$3 billion.[12] Li was indicted in U.S. District Court in May 1996.[13]

Mafia prosecutions edit

Following his work prosecuting heroin traffickers, Walden brought cases against members and associates of New York's most prominent Mafia families. In October 1999, Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico, head of the Colombo crime family, was arrested on charges of loansharking.[14] Walden helped build the cases against Persico.[14] These charges resurfaced in 2001, when Persico was indicted in Brooklyn the same day he completed a 15-month prison sentence on weapons charges in Florida.[15]

Walden also successfully prosecuted Chris Paciello, aka Chris Ludwigsen, for his 1993 murder of Staten Island housewife Judith Shemtov killed during a robbery Paciello had planned in association with the Bonanno crime family.[16] Paciello turned himself in after murder charge were filed in November 1999. He pleaded guilty to those charges on October 13, 2000.[16] Paciello only served a six-year sentence, Walden won guilty pleas from nearly 20 people related to the Shemtov murder.[16] Benjamin Brafman, Paciello's attorney, "estimated that 'more than 70 people' had been prosecuted directly and indirectly as a result of [Paciello's] cooperation'".[17] This included testimony that Alphonse Persico plotted with Paciello in 1997 to kill a dissident mafioso. The identification of two made members of the Bonanno family ultimately led to the take-down of the entire crime organization. Walden appears in a 2018 "Vanity Fair Confidential" episode discussing the Shemtov murder and the Paciello prosecution[18] and is cited extensively in the book Clubland: The Fabulous Rise and Murderous Fall of Club Culture. [19]

In 2001, Walden led the successful prosecution of Anthony Spero, a soldier and one-time acting boss of the Bonanno crime family, on murder and racketeering charges.[20] Spero was convicted on April 5, 2001, of ordering three murders during his 20 years serving the family.[21]

Walden's work prosecuting organized crime was profiled in the New York Times[22] and featured in a documentary filmed by National Geographic.[23]

Private sector edit

White collar defense edit

Following his work at the Department of Justice, in 2002 Walden entered private practice as a partner at O'Melveney & Myers LLP. He spent nearly four years there before joining Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in 2006. Walden co-chaired Gibson Dunn's White Collar-Criminal Defense & Investigations practice in addition to leading the office's pro bono efforts.[24] In 2015, Walden started his own firm, Walden Macht & Haran LLP.[25] The firm was founded with a focus on white-collar criminal defense, civil litigation and investigations. The firm also gave Walden a platform to continue representing advocacy and community groups.[26]

Joseph Cassano and AIG edit

While a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Walden, along with F. Joseph Warin, successfully represented Joseph Cassano, the CEO of AIG's Financial Products unit, for his alleged role in the 2008 financial crisis. U.S. Department of Justice investigators and prosecutors conducted an investigation into whether Cassano deliberately withheld information from investors and auditors.[27] Walden utilized a proactive defense strategy by engaging prosecutors early in the process to present evidence, rather than engaging the public.[28] Neither the Department of Justice nor the Securities and Exchange Commission ultimately brought charges against Cassano.[29]

Molly Bloom edit

In 2013, Walden represented Molly Bloom, who was arrested[30] and charged as part of a $100 million illegal poker game in Los Angeles that attracted wealthy individuals and celebrities. In 2014, Walden secured a lenient sentence for Bloom who was facing six months in federal prison for her involvement in the gambling ring.[31] Bloom later wrote a book about her experiences called Molly's Game which was turned into a 2017 film by Aaron Sorkin. Actor Idris Elba portrays a fictionalized character based loosely on Walden.[32]

Tether USDT edit

In 2019, Walden initiated representation of Tether, a cryptocurrency stablecoin company, in a consolidated class action lawsuit alleging $1.4 trillion in market manipulation damages.[33]

William Anderson & Newsweek Fraud Investigation edit

In 2020, Walden defended William Anderson in a case stemming from a $30 million fraud and money-laundering investigation of Newsweek magazine executives, and related criminal charges, filed by the Manhattan District Attorney.[34] Anderson pleaded guilty[35] and received a non-custodial sentence.

WeWork Class Action Litigation edit

In 2020, during the COVID-19 public health crisis, Walden represented WeWork customers located in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. cities, in a class action litigation demanding that the company cease charging their membership fees until public health restrictions were lifted. The plaintiffs also asked for sterilization of office spaces.[36]

St. Bernard’s School edit

In 2020, Walden represented a group of parents of St. Bernard's School, located in New York City, in a class action lawsuit against members of the school board over the board's removal of the school headmaster[37] and alleged financial malfeasance.[38]

Computer Associates edit

In 2003, Walden represented Lloyd Silverstein, who was charged in Federal Court along with a number of other executives, with financial mismanagement at Computer Associates.[39][40] As the case moved towards trial in 2004, Walden negotiated a plea arrangement with the prosecutor that helped Silverstein avoid jail time completely.[41] In 2007, Silverstein, the former senior vice president of finance at Computer Associates, became the first executive to testify in what ultimately became a $2.2 billion accounting scandal.[42]

CareCredit LLC edit

In 2013, Walden negotiated a voluntary settlement with New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman on behalf of CareCredit LLC, a subsidiary of GE Capital Retail Bank.[43] At the time of the inquiry, CareCredit was the largest issuer of consumer health care financing in the United States, with approximately 160,000 providers nationwide.[43] The company was under investigation for alleged deceptive business practices.[44]

TRW Deutschland Holding GmbH edit

Walden represented TRW Deutschland Holding GmbH, a global auto parts manufacturer, in connection with an international antitrust investigation spearheaded by the United States Department of Justice in 2012.[45] TRW agreed to a favorable plea arrangement for its involvement in a conspiracy to fix prices of seat belts, airbags and steering wheels installed in cars sold in the United States.[46]

Raymond Felton edit

In 2012, New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arrested on two felony weapons possession charges after his estranged wife turned in a loaded gun belonging to Felton to a local police precinct.[47] Felton had purchased the gun legally in North Carolina but never secured a permit in New York.[48] Walden represented Felton in the matter and secured a noncustodial sentence and small fine for Felton.[49] Felton avoided jail time.[48]

Kyle O'Quinn edit

Walden was retained by New York Knicks forward Kyle O'Quinn in connection with an assault charge in 2017.[50] Walden convinced the Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance to drop the criminal investigation against O'Quinn.[51][52]

Colonial Management Group LLC edit

In 2014, Walden represented Colonial Management Group LLC, the managers of a 42-property portfolio under investigation by New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.[53] The management company was under investigation for allegations of tenant harassment. Under the settlement, the owners will provide more than $1 million in rent credits to tenants living in nearly 1,700 apartments.[54] The agreement also required that delayed maintenance projects be completed within a year and that the management company be terminated.[55]

"Good government" cases edit

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy: Tax Incentive Task Force edit

On January 24, 2019, the office of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced that Jim Walden was selected as Special Counsel to a Task Force assigned to investigate the tax incentive program of the state's Economic Development Agency.[56]

In his time at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, and continuing at the firm he founded, Walden brought several cases against governmental and employer overreach and abuse.

Mental Health Project at the Urban Justice Center edit

In conjunction with the Mental Health Project at the Urban Justice Center, Walden was the lead attorney in a 2011 class action lawsuit against five Queens, NY administrative law judges alleging bias against Social Security applicants.[57] The judges named in the lawsuit rejected an average of 63 percent of the cases they heard in the fiscal year the lawsuit was filed, compared with a national average of 36 percent based on an analysis by the New York Times.[57] This action resulted in a settlement agreement, wherein an estimated 4,000 applicants had their cases reheard and the five judges underwent retraining.[58] Walden and the legal team drew praise from the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives for their efforts.[59]

Harris v. Eggleston edit

Walden was also part of the legal team at Gibson Dunn representing the plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit Harris v. Eggleston. The lawsuit charged that thousands of people were illegally denied food stamps after they moved to receive Social Security disability payments instead of welfare benefits.[60] The lawsuit settled in 2006 and two years later nearly 9,500 households received approximately $12 million in awards.[60]

Long Island College Hospital edit

Walden was instrumental in negotiating a settlement with the State University of New York in litigation involving the sale of Long Island College Hospital.[61] The settlement deal opened the door to keep the site a hospital and required officials to consult with unions and the community before choosing a proposal.[62] New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio applauded Walden's efforts at a press conference where De Blasio remarked, "If there is magic in the law, Jim Walden has found it. Because we sometimes seemed out of options. And Jim Walden would typically burst into the room and come up with a new option. And they had – his options had the extraordinary tendency to work."[63]

Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund edit

While at Gibson Dunn, Walden worked with the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund in their representation of El'Jai Devoureau. The case was the first lawsuit to challenge the firing of a transgender person from a job where being male or female is a job qualification.[64] The question at the heart of the case was whether someone living as a man and recognized by the government as a man was considered male in the context of employment.[65]

New York City Department of Education edit

In April 2016, Walden filed a federal class-action lawsuit on behalf of a group of 11 students and their families along with the non-profit organization Families for Excellent Schools, against the New York City Department of Education.[66] The suit alleged that the DOE and Chancellor Farina did not do enough to prevent bullying in schools and depriving students of their right to receive an education free of violence, bullying and harassment.[67] The suit asked the city to develop improved means of addressing school violence and appoint an independent monitor to oversee the DOE's progress. At a news conference announcing the suit, Walden, stated that "We felt compelled to take action because our children are being subjected to violence, the violence is increasing, and we are seeing the tragic results almost daily."[68]

In March 2018, the lawsuit was settled. Under the settlement, DOE was required to issue a new regulation and launch an entirely reworked system for reporting, investigating, and re-mediating bullying complaints, including by launching an electronic system so parents can track the progress of bullying investigations. The settlement also required DOE to grant a substantive new right to a safety transfer if the victim feels unsafe in the school despite other forms of remediation. Walden noted that "This settlement finally brings meaningful reform to a troubled and broken system that placed every New York City school student in dire and dangerous circumstances."[69][70]

NYCHA edit

In February 2018, Walden filed a landmark lawsuit against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) on behalf of a group of public housing residents.[71] The suit demands that the Court impose an independent monitor over NYCHA to ensure future compliance with the law. The suit claims that NYCHA has failed to protect residents from toxic lead, failed to provide heat or hot water during bitter winter temperatures, and failed to provide economic opportunity as mandated under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act.[72] The complaint also notes that NYCHA failed to consult with residents on significant policy changes and is negligent in safeguarding residents from hazards such as mold, vermin, roaches and malfunctioning elevators.[73]

After Walden filed suit, he invited New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to tour a dilapidated housing project. In his invitation, Walden asked that the Governor and the state assembly declare a state of emergency to address the problems quickly.[74] At a press conference with Walden and other elected officials outside of a public housing project in East Harlem, Cuomo accepted Walden's demands that an independent contractor be hired with state funds to repair all apartments citywide and to press the New York State Legislature for an additional $250 million to make urgent repairs.[75]

Cuomo declared a state of emergency on April 2, 2018, allowing for the establishment of an independent monitor to oversee the distribution of $250 million in state approved funding to quickly repair buildings operated by NYCHA. The monitor is also tasked with overseeing $350 million in funds previously pledged but not released to NYCHA.[76] The decision created an unusually high level of friction between Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio following the Mayor's lack of response to the crisis. Walden "heard crickets" from City Hall when the lawsuit suit was filed.[77] As the fallout from the lawsuit continued, the chairwoman of NYCHA, Shola Olatoye, was forced to resign[78] and the judge overseeing the case ordered a preliminary injunction, forcing the New York City Housing Authority to immediately complete lead inspections inside thousands of apartments housing children.[79][80][81]

District Attorneys Association of the State of New York edit

In October 2018, Walden filed a lawsuit on behalf of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York (DAASNY). The complaint,[82] which names Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others as defendants, claims that a law[83] signed by Cuomo to establish a panel to probe accusations of prosecutorial misconduct is unconstitutional. The bill, S2412D, passed through the New York Legislature in June 2018, creates the Commission of Prosecutorial Conduct and authorizes the commission to “receive, initiate, investigate and hear complaints with respect to the conduct, qualifications, fitness to perform, or performance of official duties of any prosecutor, and may determine that a prosecutor be admonished, censured or removed from office.”[84]

The lawsuit claimed that the creation of the Commission of Prosecutorial Conduct violates, among other provisions, the separation of powers doctrine between the three branches of state government by giving the Legislature and Court of Appeals power over district attorneys, who are executive officials.[85]

On January 28, 2020, the New York Supreme Court issued an opinion declaring the Commission on Prosecutorial Misconduct to be unconstitutional.[86] Walden represented the DAASNY pro bono.[87][88]

Donald Trump 2020 Presidential Campaign Defamation edit

In December 2020, Walden was hired to represent Chris Krebs, former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who was fired by President Trump after Krebs’ agency released a statement declaring the 2020 United States presidential election was the “most secure in American history."[89] Shortly after he was fired, Trump campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova stated on Newsmax TV that Krebs “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”[90] The lawsuit was filed against diGenova, the Trump campaign, and Newsmax, alleging "defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, aiding and abetting, and civil conspiracy".[91] In April 2021, diGenova issued a public apology to Krebs.[92]

New York State Assembly Redistricting Maps edit

In May 2022, Walden filed a lawsuit on behalf of Gary Greenberg, a New York Democratic activist, requesting that the election date for the New York Assembly be delayed from June 28 until August 23 to allow time for redrawing voting districts after the districts were deemed unlawful in an earlier court ruling. The suit would also invalidate petitions submitted by existing candidates for any office if those petitions contained signatories falling outside of the newly drawn districts, and would reopen a petitioning period for every race to allow new candidates to seek office based on the new districts.[93] On May 16, 2022, the lawsuit was filed with the Court of Appeals, and petitioners included Greenberg, New York gubernatorial candidate Paul Nichols, and Gavin M. Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club.[94] Walden represented the petitioners pro bono.[95]

On June 10, 2022, the court affirmed that the maps were unconstitutional, however the request for a delay of the 2022 Assembly Primary elections was denied and subsequently appealed.[96]

The Geraldine Santoro Act edit

In response to the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision in 2022, Walden drafted legislation that would provide financial assistance to women from states where abortion is banned to travel to New York for abortion healthcare services. The Geraldine Santoro Act was introduced by New York Assemblymember Charles Lavine in May 2022.[97]

U.S. v. Mark Hazelwood, et al edit

Walden was hired as legal counsel to Mark Hazelwood,[98] the former president of Pilot Flying J, in a criminal case stemming from a federal investigation into a diesel fuel discount program, which prosecutors claim was designed to defraud trucking companies doing business with Pilot Flying J. Hazelwood maintained his innocence and went to trial.[99] In February 2018, while represented by previous trial counsel, Hazelwood was found guilty for his alleged role in the scheme on charges of wire fraud, witness tampering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.[100][101][102] Taking the case after conviction, Walden found exculpatory evidence and filed a motion for a new trial,[103] which the trial judge denied.[104][105][106] Hazelwood faced up to twenty years in prison, but Walden argued for leniency, presenting evidence that the alleged criminal activity had no financial impact on Pilot's customers.[107] At Hazelwood’s sentencing, the judge credited the mitigating evidence, granted Walden's request for a more lenient sentence, and imposed a term of 12+1⁄2 years.[108][109] Walden vowed to appeal the conviction.[110] When the district judge ordered Hazelwood to surrender to jail despite his appeal, an appellate court reversed that ruling.[111]

The appellate court later reversed Hazelwood’s conviction.[112] On remand to the trial court, Walden moved for the disqualification of the district judge, and moved to change venue in light of the substantial negative local press coverage.[113] On the eve of Walden filing a motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct at the first trial, the Department of Justice dismissed all charges with prejudice.[114] Walden issued the following public statement: “Mark Hazelwood’s nightmare is now over. We believed in his innocence from day one. We are gratified that the Department of Justice agreed that dismissal was the only appropriate remedy. We look forward to seeing the next chapter of Mark’s life, surrounded by his wife Joanne and his loving family, and are honored to have been able to tell his whole story in full truth. Mark is innocent.”[115] The District Judge signed the dismissal order on July 28, 2021.[116]

Representation of Brittany Kaiser edit

Walden represents Brittany Kaiser, the former director of business development for SCL Group, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica.[117] Kaiser acted as a whistleblower about her knowledge of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal which exposed more than 87 million Facebook accounts to abuse and may have impacted the outcome of the 2016 US presidential campaign. She is alleged to have discussed the 2016 US Presidential Election with Julian Assange of Wikileaks in 2017, which Walden denies.[118]

Representation of Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov edit

Walden was the attorney for Grigory Rodchenkov, the former director of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory. Rodchenkov's role as a whistle-blower helped expose Russia's state-sponsored doping system.[119] Crucially, Rodchenkov kept a contemporaneous diary that included entries related to the doping system he oversaw. The diaries detailed specific discussions about cheating that Rodchenkov conducted with prominent Russian officials.[120] On December 5, 2017, the International Olympic Committee announced its decision to ban Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympics.[121] Rodchenkov's work is detailed in the Netflix documentary Icarus which includes a brief appearance by Walden discussing how Rodchenkov's life is in danger following his revelations about Russian doping.[122] At the 90th Academy Awards, given out in March 2018, the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[123]

Despite overwhelming evidence of doping, in February 2018 the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued a ruling to reinstate 28 Russian athletes who had appealed their lifetime bans on competition.[124] Walden called the decision a "mockery":

Forty-three individual Russian athletes were banned by a disciplinary commission in December 2017. But when the athletes appealed, the IOC capitulated to a process that was harried and disorganized, leaving key evidence out of the record. The result was a disaster. The CAS has now disregarded the evidence and reversed bans for 28 of the doped athletes. The millions of dollars spent by the WADA and the IOC to gather and assemble proof of the Russian doping system appear to have been for nothing: The CAS panel brushed it all aside with the stroke of a pen.[125]

In February 2018, Walden testified before the U.S. Helsinki Commission to discuss global corruption in international sport and, specifically, the efforts by Russia to circumvent doping testing. Walden said that the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee need to step up their efforts to enforce doping regulations and restore integrity to the international athletic community. Walden underscored the importance of protecting whistleblowers to encourage future transparency in global competition.[126]

Following the conclusion of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Peyongchang, South Korea, Thomas Bach, president of the IOC, reinstated Russia's Olympic Committee, effectively reversing a ban which had been in place following the doping claims by Dr. Rodchenkov. Walden called the move an act of "cowardice and appeasement."[127]

In February 2018, Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, who is controlling owner of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team, agreed to finance a defamation lawsuit in New York against Rodchenkov. The suit claims that Rodchenkov defamed three Russian biathletes — Olga Zaytseva, Yana Romanova and Olga Vilukhina — when Rodchenkov included them on a list of athletes who took performance-enhancing drugs as part of a state-controlled program that corrupted the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[128] The women, who were stripped of the silver medal they won as part of a relay team, are seeking $10 million each in damages.[129]

In April 2018, Walden counter-sued Prokhorov on behalf of Rodchenkov under New York's anti-SLAPP law, claiming that Prokhorov's suit was frivolous and intended to limit an individual's right to exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech.[130] According to published reports, the counter-suit is likely to seek the names of other individuals who are financing the lawsuit against Rodchenkov as well as information about the assets of Prokhorov.[131] Walden stated that he believes Prokhorov's lawsuit was intentionally designed to uncover Rodchenkov's whereabouts in the United States and allow agents of the Russian government to find him.

Walden testified before the Helsinki Commission for a second time on July 25, 2018, along with Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Yulia Stepanova, a former Russian track star, and Katie Uhlaender, an American skeleton racer who finished fourth in the Sochi Olympics.[132] In his testimony, Walden claimed that Putin had created a "gangster state" in Russia.[133]

Walden has been highly critical of WADA's efforts to properly reprimand Russia for that country's decades-old state-sponsored sports doping program. In September 2018, WADA announced that it would be lifting the ban on Russia's participation in international sporting competition. Walden called the decision "the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history."[134][135][136] Walden has suggested that the United States is wasting its money funding for WADA because the organization "is obviously impotent to address Russia's state-sponsored doping."[137]

against O Quinn 51 52 Colonial Management Group LLC edit In 2014 Walden represented Colonial Management Group LLC the managers of a 42 property portfolio under investigation by New York Attorney General Eric T Schneiderman 53 The management company was under investigation for allegations of tenant harassment Under the settlement the owners will provide more than 1 million in rent credits to tenants living in nearly 1 700 apartments 54 The agreement also required that delayed maintenance projects be completed within a year and that the management company be terminated 55 Good government cases editNew Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Tax Incentive Task Force edit On January 24 2019 the office of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced that Jim Walden was selected as Special Counsel to a Task Force assigned to investigate the tax incentive program of the state s Economic Development Agency 56 In his time at Gibson Dunn amp Crutcher and continuing at the firm he founded Walden brought several cases against governmental and employer overreach and abuse Mental Health Project at the Urban Justice Center edit In conjunction with the Mental Health Project at the Urban Justice Center Walden was the lead attorney in a 2011 class action lawsuit against five Queens NY administrative law judges alleging bias against Social Security applicants 57 The judges named in the lawsuit rejected an average of 63 percent of the cases they heard in the fiscal year the lawsuit was filed compared with a national average of 36 percent based on an analysis by the New York Times 57 This action resulted in a settlement agreement wherein an estimated 4 000 applicants had their cases reheard and the five judges underwent retraining 58 Walden and the legal team drew praise from the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives for their efforts 59 Harris v Eggleston edit Walden was also part of the legal team at Gibson Dunn representing the plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit Harris v Eggleston The lawsuit charged that thousands of people were illegally denied food stamps after they moved to receive Social Security disability payments instead of welfare benefits 60 The lawsuit settled in 2006 and two years later nearly 9 500 households received approximately 12 million in awards 60 Long Island College Hospital edit Walden was instrumental in negotiating a settlement with the State University of New York in litigation involving the sale of Long Island College Hospital 61 The settlement deal opened the door to keep the site a hospital and required officials to consult with unions and the community before choosing a proposal 62 New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio applauded Walden s efforts at a press conference where De Blasio remarked If there is magic in the law Jim Walden has found it Because we sometimes seemed out of options And Jim Walden would typically burst into the room and come up with a new option And they had his options had the extraordinary tendency to work 63 Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund edit While at Gibson Dunn Walden worked with the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund in their representation of El Jai Devoureau The case was the first lawsuit to challenge the firing of a transgender person from a job where being male or female is a job qualification 64 The question at the heart of the case was whether someone living as a man and recognized by the government as a man was considered male in the context of employment 65 New York City Department of Education edit In April 2016 Walden filed a federal class action lawsuit on behalf of a group of 11 students and their families along with the non profit organization Families for Excellent Schools against the New York City Department of Education 66 The suit alleged that the DOE and Chancellor Farina did not do enough to prevent bullying in schools and depriving students of their right to receive an education free of violence bullying and harassment 67 The suit asked the city to develop improved means of addressing school violence and appoint an independent monitor to oversee the DOE s progress At a news conference announcing the suit Walden stated that We felt compelled to take action because our children are being subjected to violence the violence is increasing and we are seeing the tragic results almost daily 68 In March 2018 the lawsuit was settled Under the settlement DOE was required to issue a new regulation and launch an entirely reworked system for reporting investigating and re mediating bullying complaints including by launching an electronic system so parents can track the progress of bullying investigations The settlement also required DOE to grant a substantive new right to a safety transfer if the victim feels unsafe in the school despite other forms of remediation Walden noted that This settlement finally brings meaningful reform to a troubled and broken system that placed every New York City school student in dire and dangerous circumstances 69 70 NYCHA edit In February 2018 Walden filed a landmark lawsuit against the New York City Housing Authority NYCHA on behalf of a group of public housing residents 71 The suit demands that the Court impose an independent monitor over NYCHA to ensure future compliance with the law The suit claims that NYCHA has failed to protect residents from toxic lead failed to provide heat or hot water during bitter winter temperatures and failed to provide economic opportunity as mandated under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act 72 The complaint also notes that NYCHA failed to consult with residents on significant policy changes and is negligent in safeguarding residents from hazards such as mold vermin roaches and malfunctioning elevators 73 After Walden filed suit he invited New York Gov Andrew Cuomo to tour a dilapidated housing project In his invitation Walden asked that the Governor and the state assembly declare a state of emergency to address the problems quickly 74 At a press conference with Walden and other elected officials outside of a public housing project in East Harlem Cuomo accepted Walden s demands that an independent contractor be hired with state funds to repair all apartments citywide and to press the New York State Legislature for an additional 250 million to make urgent repairs 75 Cuomo declared a state of emergency on April 2 2018 allowing for the establishment of an independent monitor to oversee the distribution of 250 million in state approved funding to quickly repair buildings operated by NYCHA The monitor is also tasked with overseeing 350 million in funds previously pledged but not released to NYCHA 76 The decision created an unusually high level of friction between Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio following the Mayor s lack of response to the crisis Walden heard crickets from City Hall when the lawsuit suit was filed 77 As the fallout from the lawsuit continued the chairwoman of NYCHA Shola Olatoye was forced to resign 78 and the judge overseeing the case ordered a preliminary injunction forcing the New York City Housing Authority to immediately complete lead inspections inside thousands of apartments housing children 79 80 81 District Attorneys Association of the State of New York edit In October 2018 Walden filed a lawsuit on behalf of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York DAASNY The complaint 82 which names Gov Andrew Cuomo and others as defendants claims that a law 83 signed by Cuomo to establish a panel to probe accusations of prosecutorial misconduct is unconstitutional The bill S2412D passed through the New York Legislature in June 2018 creates the Commission of Prosecutorial Conduct and authorizes the commission to receive initiate investigate and hear complaints with respect to the conduct qualifications fitness to perform or performance of official duties of any prosecutor and may determine that a prosecutor be admonished censured or removed from office 84 The lawsuit claimed that the creation of the Commission of Prosecutorial Conduct violates among other provisions the separation of powers doctrine between the three branches of state government by giving the Legislature and Court of Appeals power over district attorneys who are executive officials 85 On January 28 2020 the New York Supreme Court issued an opinion declaring the Commission on Prosecutorial Misconduct to be unconstitutional 86 Walden represented the DAASNY pro bono 87 88 Donald Trump 2020 Presidential Campaign Defamation edit In December 2020 Walden was hired to represent Chris Krebs former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who was fired by President Trump after Krebs agency released a statement declaring the 2020 United States presidential election was the most secure in American history 89 Shortly after he was fired Trump campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova stated on Newsmax TV that Krebs should be drawn and quartered Taken out at dawn and shot 90 The lawsuit was filed against diGenova the Trump campaign and Newsmax alleging defamation intentional infliction of emotional distress aiding and abetting and civil conspiracy 91 In April 2021 diGenova issued a public apology to Krebs 92 New York State Assembly Redistricting Maps edit In May 2022 Walden filed a lawsuit on behalf of Gary Greenberg a New York Democratic activist requesting that the election date for the New York Assembly be delayed from June 28 until August 23 to allow time for redrawing voting districts after the districts were deemed unlawful in an earlier court ruling The suit would also invalidate petitions submitted by existing candidates for any office if those petitions contained signatories falling outside of the newly drawn districts and would reopen a petitioning period for every race to allow new candidates to seek office based on the new districts 93 On May 16 2022 the lawsuit was filed with the Court of Appeals and petitioners included Greenberg New York gubernatorial candidate Paul Nichols and Gavin M Wax president of the New York Young Republican Club 94 Walden represented the petitioners pro bono 95 On June 10 2022 the court affirmed that the maps were unconstitutional however the request for a delay of the 2022 Assembly Primary elections was denied and subsequently appealed 96 The Geraldine Santoro Act editIn response to the US Supreme Court s Dobbs v Jackson Women s Health Organization decision in 2022 Walden drafted legislation that would provide financial assistance to women from states where abortion is banned to travel to New York for abortion healthcare services The Geraldine Santoro Act was introduced by New York Assemblymember Charles Lavine in May 2022 97 U S v Mark Hazelwood et al editWalden was hired as legal counsel to Mark Hazelwood 98 the former president of Pilot Flying J in a criminal case stemming from a federal investigation into a diesel fuel discount program which prosecutors claim was designed to defraud trucking companies doing business with Pilot Flying J Hazelwood maintained his innocence and went to trial 99 In February 2018 while represented by previous trial counsel Hazelwood was found guilty for his alleged role in the scheme on charges of wire fraud witness tampering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud 100 101 102 Taking the case after conviction Walden found exculpatory evidence and filed a motion for a new trial 103 which the trial judge denied 104 105 106 Hazelwood faced up to twenty years in prison but Walden argued for leniency presenting evidence that the alleged criminal activity had no financial impact on Pilot s customers 107 At Hazelwood s sentencing the judge credited the mitigating evidence granted Walden s request for a more lenient sentence and imposed a term of 12 1 2 years 108 109 Walden vowed to appeal the conviction 110 When the district judge ordered Hazelwood to surrender to jail despite his appeal an appellate court reversed that ruling 111 The appellate court later reversed Hazelwood s conviction 112 On remand to the trial court Walden moved for the disqualification of the district judge and moved to change venue in light of the substantial negative local press coverage 113 On the eve of Walden filing a motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct at the first trial the Department of Justice dismissed all charges with prejudice 114 Walden issued the following public statement Mark Hazelwood s nightmare is now over We believed in his innocence from day one We are gratified that the Department of Justice agreed that dismissal was the only appropriate remedy We look forward to seeing the next chapter of Mark s life surrounded by his wife Joanne and his loving family and are honored to have been able to tell his whole story in full truth Mark is innocent 115 The District Judge signed the dismissal order on July 28 2021 116 Representation of Brittany Kaiser editWalden represents Brittany Kaiser the former director of business development for SCL Group the parent company of Cambridge Analytica 117 Kaiser acted as a whistleblower about her knowledge of the Facebook Cambridge Analytica data scandal which exposed more than 87 million Facebook accounts to abuse and may have impacted the outcome of the 2016 US presidential campaign She is alleged to have discussed the 2016 US Presidential Election with Julian Assange of Wikileaks in 2017 which Walden denies 118 Representation of Dr Grigory Rodchenkov editWalden was the attorney for Grigory Rodchenkov the former director of Russia s national anti doping laboratory Rodchenkov s role as a whistle blower helped expose Russia s state sponsored doping system 119 Crucially Rodchenkov kept a contemporaneous diary that included entries related to the doping system he oversaw The diaries detailed specific discussions about cheating that Rodchenkov conducted with prominent Russian officials 120 On December 5 2017 the International Olympic Committee announced its decision to ban Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympics 121 Rodchenkov s work is detailed in the Netflix documentary Icarus which includes a brief appearance by Walden discussing how Rodchenkov s life is in danger following his revelations about Russian doping 122 At the 90th Academy Awards given out in March 2018 the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature 123 Despite overwhelming evidence of doping in February 2018 the Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS issued a ruling to reinstate 28 Russian athletes who had appealed their lifetime bans on competition 124 Walden called the decision a mockery Forty three individual Russian athletes were banned by a disciplinary commission in December 2017 But when the athletes appealed the IOC capitulated to a process that was harried and disorganized leaving key evidence out of the record The result was a disaster The CAS has now disregarded the evidence and reversed bans for 28 of the doped athletes The millions of dollars spent by the WADA and the IOC to gather and assemble proof of the Russian doping system appear to have been for nothing The CAS panel brushed it all aside with the stroke of a pen 125 In February 2018 Walden testified before the U S Helsinki Commission to discuss global corruption in international sport and specifically the efforts by Russia to circumvent doping testing Walden said that the World Anti Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee need to step up their efforts to enforce doping regulations and restore integrity to the international athletic community Walden underscored the importance of protecting whistleblowers to encourage future transparency in global competition 126 Following the conclusion of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Peyongchang South Korea Thomas Bach president of the IOC reinstated Russia s Olympic Committee effectively reversing a ban which had been in place following the doping claims by Dr Rodchenkov Walden called the move an act of cowardice and appeasement 127 In February 2018 Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov who is controlling owner of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team agreed to finance a defamation lawsuit in New York against Rodchenkov The suit claims that Rodchenkov defamed three Russian biathletes Olga Zaytseva Yana Romanova and Olga Vilukhina when Rodchenkov included them on a list of athletes who took performance enhancing drugs as part of a state controlled program that corrupted the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia 128 The women who were stripped of the silver medal they won as part of a relay team are seeking 10 million each in damages 129 In April 2018 Walden counter sued Prokhorov on behalf of Rodchenkov under New York s anti SLAPP law claiming that Prokhorov s suit was frivolous and intended to limit an individual s right to exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech 130 According to published reports the counter suit is likely to seek the names of other individuals who are financing the lawsuit against Rodchenkov as well as information about the assets of Prokhorov 131 Walden stated that he believes Prokhorov s lawsuit was intentionally designed to uncover Rodchenkov s whereabouts in the United States and allow agents of the Russian government to find him Walden testified before the Helsinki Commission for a second time on July 25 2018 along with Travis Tygart CEO of the U S Anti Doping Agency Yulia Stepanova a former Russian track star and Katie Uhlaender an American skeleton racer who finished fourth in the Sochi Olympics 132 In his testimony Walden claimed that Putin had created a gangster state in Russia 133 Walden has been highly critical of WADA s efforts to properly reprimand Russia for that country s decades old state sponsored sports doping program In September 2018 WADA announced that it would be lifting the ban on Russia s participation in international sporting competition Walden called the decision the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history 134 135 136 Walden has suggested that the United States is wasting its money funding for WADA because the organization is obviously impotent to address Russia s state sponsored doping 137 References
