We are honored to have worked for decades with Charles Stillman, a recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the New York Law Journal. Charlie is, without dispute, a dean of the New York Bar. His reputation as a tough but compassionate trial lawyer has made him one of the most recognized white-collar criminal defense attorneys in the city. In addition to his outstanding career, Charlie has used his time and considerable talents to mentor scores of lawyers, give back to people and organizations in need, and elevate the New York legal community.

Charlie’s legal career began more than five decades ago. After completing night school at New York University School of Law and serving as courtroom bailiff during the day, Charlie clerked for the Hon. Irving R. Kaufman in both the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In 1962, he joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District. During his tenure, under U.S. Attorney Robert Morgenthau, he tried numerous cases, including major tax and securities fraud prosecutions, and argued many appeals before the Second Circuit.
