The OWL - October 2018 - Featuring David Marder, Class of '87

Page 1


Education David Marder attended ACS Athens from Sept. 1972 to June 1980 while his father was working at the U.S. Embassy in Athens. While at ACS, he served as the president of the sophomore class, a member of the debate team, and attended the Model United Nations at The Hague. "I wasn’t a member of any ACS athletic teams, but did play football for the mighty, mighty Kifissia Packers." Upon completion of David's junior year, his family moved back to the US, where he graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy. He continued his university studies at Dartmouth College and Boston University Law School.

Career David is currently a partner at the law firm of Robins Kaplan LLP in Boston practicing in the field of business litigation. He handles cases in the fields of finance, intellectual property, employment, and other high-stakes business matters, including a heavy emphasis on securities litigation. His law firm claims that "he has won respect for his skilled representation of individuals and organizations in dozens of investigations and actions brought by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and state securities regulators. He has defended clients against insider trading allegations, as well as investigations and cases relating to revenue recognition, gifts and gratuities, options backdating, suitability and many other issues. He also represents plaintiffs and defendants in private securities actions, including litigation and arbitration." David claims: "my experience at ACS definitely gave me a strong foundation for my legal career. I am particularly convinced that my participation in extra-curricular activities, such as debate and forensics, honed my advocacy skills."

Awards David was named a “Patent Star” and “IP Star” by Managing Intellectual Property magazine and was recognized as a "Massachusetts Super Lawyer" many times. He is active in numerous legal associations, and currently serve as a co-chairman of the litigation committee of the Boston Patent Law Association.

Family


"I have been married for 30 years to my wife, Margaret. We went to Greece on our honeymoon. I have three children: Tommy, Becky, and Hannah. My sister, Cindy, is also an ACS alumnus and lives in N.Y.

My years at ACS were the most formative ones of my life. The education I received was on par with that provided by any of the finest schools in the U.S., and I had the added benefit of being exposed to other students from a large variety of cultures and backgrounds. I forged lifelong friendships with people that I still count as my closest friends. My only words of


wisdom would be to make sure to participate in everything that ACS has to offer.

A message from ACS Athens Alum Jan-Pal Mouzakis Gagnum, Director

Dear ACS Alumni Community, I'm the Regional Director for a US-based education company called Atlantis. We run educational programs for US pre-med college students during the summer and winter months. In cooperation with our hospital partners, students spend 3-4 weeks in the summer, and 1-2 weeks in the winter months on a program that places them in a public or private hospital where they practice clinical observation with doctors across a range of specializations.


We are always on the lookout for high quality candidates for our Site Manager position. Site Managers assume the responsibility of all aspects of a program, which involves logistics preparation, planning and execution, managing groups of college students, running excursions and group meals, and ensuring a high quality experience in the hospital with our hospital partners. Our next operating season begins this winter where we will run various programs beginning in early December and going through January. If you or anyone you know are interested, please reach out to me atjonpal.g@atlantisglobal.org, or check out the details of the job
