John P. "Sean" Coffey

Biden Nominee for General Counsel of the Department of the Navy; Attorney - Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP

John P. (“Sean”) Coffey is a retired Navy captain and former federal prosecutor who currently serves as the Chair of Complex Litigation at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP in New York City. Mr. Coffey was retained just weeks before trial to serve as co-counsel for Fabrice Tourre, the former Goldman Sachs trader accused of securities fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission; stepped in to take over the defense of a foreign company in an international arbitration nine days before the merits hearing; and recently joined the Kramer Levin trial team that obtained a $600 million settlement for Johnson & Johnson shortly after closing arguments. Prior to joining Kramer Levin, as co-managing partner, Mr. Coffey led trial teams that obtained almost $10 billion in recoveries, including more than $6 billion in the landmark WorldCom case for the New York State Common Retirement Fund and other investors. Earlier in his career, Mr. Coffey served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York. He also co-founded and served as managing director of a commercial litigation finance investment firm that evaluated scores of complex business disputes. An Annapolis graduate, Mr. Coffey served as an active-duty naval officer tracking Soviet submarines, and was personal military assistant to Vice President George H.W. Bush. After leaving active duty to pursue his legal career, he continued to serve as a reserve Navy officer for 18 years. Mr. Coffey retired as a Captain in 2004 after 30 years of uniformed service. In 2010, Mr. Coffey ran an unsuccessful campaign in a five-way race for the Democratic nomination for New York Attorney General. Coffey is an honors graduate of the United States Naval Academy and Georgetown University Law Center.
