David excels in class action defense, litigation, arbitration, and investigations involving high stakes and difficult constitutional, statutory, and regulatory issues. David has helped his clients obtain remarkable results through his advocacy and strategic counsel, and they trust him as a creative and pragmatic advisor. With government agencies and class action lawyers growing increasingly aggressive, and laws and regulations becoming progressively more arcane, David’s rich experience in a wide variety of high-stakes investigations and litigation helps him not only to react to risks and threats, but to anticipate and protect against them. His success in defending class action cases, a peril increasingly faced by online and multichannel marketers, led to his selection by the American Bar Association as an author for its go-to treatise in the field, A Practitioner’s Guide to Class Action Litigation (2021), and by Benchmark Litigation as a class action litigation star. A columnist for Tax Notes State, he wrote most recently about the growing risk of class action lawsuits and qui tam actions involving state taxes. Before joining Brann & Isaacson, David worked closely with famed criminal defense attorney and presidential counsel Robert S. Bennett, representing the world’s largest defense contractors in sweeping investigations, including the FBI’s Operation Ill Wind (“one of the biggest federal white–collar crime cases ever prosecuted” which “rattled the nation’s military–industrial complex,” according to Time magazine). These cases often involved parallel criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings. He also worked on major government contract bid protests and helped write a book on the subject. This experience led to his selection by the State of Maine to advise it in connection with its successful re-procurement of its statewide 9-1-1 emergency response system, after the initial award had been overturned by a losing bidder. David is also an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker. His latest film, a sci-fi comedy called Seven Seconds, premiered in 2020 at film festivals across the United States. His current project is a feature-length legal thriller. His passions include psychedelic rock, weird fiction, philosophy, and fishing.
