About me
Charlene is an experienced litigator who has helped clients successfully resolve and win business disputes for more than thirty years. Her practice focuses on litigation in federal courts, and includes complex international contract disputes, unfair competition claims, direct sales issues, commercial tenancy disputes, trademark licensing disputes, securities fraud, and fraudulent transfer claims. Charlene has served as a receiver or lead counsel to a receiver in more than two dozen government enforcement cases, and has unraveled complex fraudulent schemes, litigated claims against “winners” and third-party facilitators, discovered, seized, and sold every imaginable type of asset—from herds of cattle to a seat on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange—operated businesses, pierced the attorney-client privilege, and testified at criminal trials and contempt proceedings. On occasion, she also represents third parties when sued by receivers.

She previously served on NAFER’s Board of Directors and the Board of Empowering Women as Leaders.
