Paul Scott Hugel,
Partner

Paul Hugel has been engaged in civil and criminal litigation since 1993. His civil practice includes the representation of individuals and businesses, including banks and venture funds, in commercial disputes and in all phases of state and federal administrative investigations. His criminal practice includes representation of individuals charged in state and federal courts in matters such as securities fraud, bank fraud, enterprise corruption and insurance fraud. In 2006 and 2007, Paul represented a former executive of a major media company in a four month securities fraud conspiracy trial which resulted in an acquittal of all charges.

Paul also represents and advises a number of companies and individuals involved in the online gambling industry. In 1998, he represented one of the first people to be indicted for violation of federal gambling laws arising from online gambling activity; charges which were eventually withdrawn by the U.S. Attorney's office. Paul has lectured at seminars and bar association conferences on online gambling and is the author of several articles on the subject.

Paul is a graduate of Fordham University Law School and Lehigh University. He joined Clayman & Rosenberg in 1995 and has been a partner at the firm since 2003. Paul is admitted to practice in New York, New Jersey and the District of Columbia.
