Ms. Josephs has extensive experience in a wide range of complex commercial litigation.  She practiced at Friedman, Wang & Bleiberg, PC from 1984 to 1997, where she represented clients (mostly Fortune 500 companies) in federal and state courts in litigation involving ERISA and MEPPAA, derivative trades, bankruptcy claims, corporate asset sales and franchisee relationships.  From 1982 to 1984, Ms. Josephs was an associate at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, where she worked primarily on complicated corporate transactions including leveraged leases and convertible debt offerings.

Immediately before joining Boies Schiller & Flexner, LLP, Ms. Josephs was on break from legal practice to focus on raising her children.  During that time, she became involved in issues of special education rights and from 1998 to 2003 served on the Special Education Services Committee for the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut.  She chaired her Harvard Law School landmark reunions in 2006 and 2001.
