On Friday, Greenberg Traurig terminated corporate partner David Tamman, who is facing administrative proceedings brought by the SEC involving work he did for a client while he was a partner at Nixon Peabody. According the the SEC, Tamman allegedly falsified documents being turned over to the SEC on behalf of Beverly Hills-based NewPoint Securities. NewPoint and several of its top executives are now under fraud investigation for unregistered sale of securities.
Greenberg Traurig confirmed to The AM Law Daily that Tamman is no longer connected with the firm. In a statement made to ALM the firm said “David Tamman was terminated by the firm (credit creasy). The allegations in the SEC complaint, which he failed to disclose to us, allege conduct and actions which took place at a former firm and of which we were not aware.”
