For close to half a century, Michael J. Rosen has passionately dedicated his legal career to challenging the government's accusations in federal criminal cases throughout the nation.
Graduating from the University of Miami School of Law in 1974, Michael Rosen's journey into federal trial experience began as an Assistant Federal Public Defender in South Florida.
With a desire to work alongside his father, E. David Rosen, Michael spent 25 years in private practice. The Rosen law firm, in collaboration with his brother, Larry, tackled some of the country's most significant and high-profile criminal cases and trials.
In a remarkable turn of events, Michael had the privilege of having his son, Jason E. Rosen, join the firm for several years after an illustrious career in banking and securities. Jason, now a partner at the prestigious European-based law firm Ontier, boasts offices in Miami.
As a testament to his profound knowledge and expertise, Michael Rosen has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami School of Law for many years. His courses on Advanced Federal Criminal Procedure and RICO have enriched the legal education of countless students.
An acclaimed speaker at international, judicial, and criminal law conferences, Michael has shared his insights and experiences with a global audience.
Notably, Michael Rosen emphasizes the importance of corporate internal review and compliance programs as preventive measures. He enables corporate clients to navigate the ever-changing landscape of business legislation, effectively resolving any ongoing corporate criminal inquiries at an early stage.
