— Robert M. Schulman, who once worked as an intellectual property litigation partner at Hunton & Williams and Arent Fox, in testimony given before the Board on Professional Responsibility of the D.C. Bar late last week. Schulman was convicted of conspiracy and securities fraud in 2017, and later agreed to a three-year suspension of his license to practice law, retroactive to June 28, 2018. In 2010, Schulman allegedly got drunk before sharing insider information, and continues to deny criminal liability.
