Berman Tabacco is pleased to welcome two new associates to the Boston office, Lindsey Silver, who joined the firm in June, and M. Dalton Rodriguez, who joined the firm in July.
Lindsey Silver
Lindsey focuses her practice on securities litigation, including cases against pharmaceutical manufacturers. She is currently a member of the litigation team pursuing claims against Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its top executives for allegedly misleading the market about sales of its primary drug, Andexxa.
Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Silver worked as an associate for over seven years at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP in Boston, where she focused primarily on securities litigation, regulatory investigations, and appeals, as well as other complex business litigation. She played a critical role in a variety of high-profile cases on behalf of clients in the financial, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological industries in both state and federal court. She has significant experience in drafting dispositive and non-dispositive motions, defending depositions, and managing document discovery.
During law school, Ms. Silver interned with the Hon. Nancy Gertner on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and in the Trial Division of the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. Before law school, Ms. Silver worked as a paralegal at a labor and employment law firm in Boston.
M. Dalton Rodriguez
M. Dalton Rodriguez focuses his practice on securities litigation. He is currently a member of the litigation team pursing a derivative action on behalf of investors of Sinclair Broadcast Corporation, Inc. In that action, Berman Tabacco’s client alleges that Sinclair’s controlling shareholder and Board breached their fiduciary duties by knowingly and intentionally misleading the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Federal Communications Commission in their review of the proposed merger between Sinclair and Tribune Media Company. This allegedly resulted in the cancellation of the merger, which has cost Sinclair hundreds of millions of dollars to date.
Prior to joining the firm, Dalton worked as an associate at Ropes & Gray LLP in Boston for more than four years, where he focused on bankruptcy and other complex business litigation, internal investigations related to legal and regulatory compliance, and proceedings before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also maintained a substantial pro bono practice focused on issues affecting the LGBTQ community and immigrant rights.
While in law school, Dalton was an editor for the Stanford Journal of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the Stanford Journal of Complex Litigation. He also served as an accounting instructor for Project ReMADE and as social chair for Stanford OutLaw.
