"She was our first hire upon the firm's founding, and we could not be more pleased to welcome Mimi back both professionally and personally. We know that our clients will greatly benefit from her depth of experience in private practice and her recent government service."

Co-Founding Partner Kenneth E. Lee added, "Mimi has been central to our firm's success since day one, working on some of our top litigation matters. We are honored that she has again chosen Levine Lee following several years of dedicated public service."

"It is a privilege to rejoin my colleagues and friends at Levine Lee," said Ms. Alinikoff. "The firm's commitment to clients is unrivaled, and they have achieved numerous exceptional outcomes. Returning is especially exciting because Levine Lee is where I first became a lawyer, and the skills I honed here have enabled me to deliver specialized results across the full spectrum of public and private matters. Put simply, Levine Lee is my second home and there is no better place for me to serve my clients."

Ms. Alinikoff joined Levine Lee as its first Associate in 2011 and later clerked for the Honorable Nina Gershon of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York from 2014 to 2016. Following her clerkship, she rejoined the firm and became a Partner in 2018. Her clients included, for example, the Special Committees of the Board of Xerox Corporation, and she was part of the team that  successfully defended Deutsche Bank trader Gavin Black in connection with the LIBOR-fixing investigation, which resulted in acquittal.
