Sean Coffey Sees Support from Plaintiffs’ and Defense Counsel in NY AG Race

By Amanda Harding on January 26, 2010, 2:17 pm

A dozen candidates have raised money for a potential run to become the next NY Attorney General, but the AmLaw Litigation daily reports that former Bernstein Litowitz partner Sean Coffey has been a favorite candidate of his old plaintiffs’ bar colleagues and rivals.

Coffey’s donors reportedly include his former Bernstein Litowitz partner Max Berger ($27,500); Jay Eisenhofer of Grant & Eisenhofer ($25,000); Patrick Coughlin of Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins ($56,000); the Milberg firm ($25,000); Barroway Topaz ($35,000, in addition to Andrew Barroway’s $15,000 personal contribution); and Labaton Sucharow ($30,000).

Coffey also received donations from his former opponents on the defense side, including contributions from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison chairman Brad Karp; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom partner Jay Kasner; and former Bank of America deputy general counsel David Onorato (who’s now a partner at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer). Each of them gave $1,000 to Coffey’s campaign, the AmLaw Litigation Daily reports.
