Dynamis LLP — About the Firm

We try the cases other firms settle.

Dynamis LLP is a litigation firm. We defend individuals and companies in criminal prosecutions and government investigations, and we litigate complex civil disputes on both sides of the "v." Our matters typically involve tens of millions of dollars, a company's future, or a client's liberty.

We win motions that end cases before trial. We try the cases that need trying. And when the right answer is a resolution, we negotiate it from strength, because the other side knows we are ready to go to verdict.

The firm was founded in 2023 by former federal prosecutor Eric Rosen and civil litigator Constantine Economides. It now has 20 lawyers in Boston, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and New Jersey, and is ranked by Chambers USA.


Our founding

In July 2023, Eric Rosen and Constantine Economides left a small boutique firm to build a different kind of firm.

Rosen had served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Boston, where he led the Operation Varsity Blues prosecution: one of the largest white-collar cases in U.S. history, built in part on court-authorized wiretaps. Economides had spent his career in complex civil litigation, including the effort that recovered more than $11 billion for victims of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme and litigation arising from the collapse of Theranos.

They started with five people and one principle: the lawyers a client hires should be the lawyers who do the work.

The firm grew from there. In 2024, Robert Frenchman, co-founder of Mukasey Frenchman and the lawyer who won the acquittal of UBS trader Andre Flotron, joined as a partner. Michael Homer, a former federal prosecutor who has served as lead counsel in more than a dozen federal trials, was appointed to the District of Massachusetts CJA Panel in 2025. After that, Jamie Solano, Brooke Watson and Trevor Jones joined. Today the firm's bench includes five former federal prosecutors.


How we practice

We know how the government builds a case because we built them.

Former federal prosecutors lead our white-collar practice. We have presented cases to grand juries, obtained and litigated wiretaps, worked alongside FBI, SEC, and IRS agents, and tried cases to verdict for the United States. That experience tells us where a prosecution is weak, often before the government sees it.

Some of our best results never reach a courtroom. An investigation closes. A charge is never filed. A target becomes a witness. Time matters in these cases. If you have received a subpoena, a target letter, or a call from an agent, read our guide to responding to a federal investigation, then call us. Our former prosecutors are available around the clock for confidential consultations.

We go to trial.

Most litigation settles. The terms depend on whether the other side believes you will try the case. Dynamis lawyers have tried cases in federal and state court, for the government and against it. We have beaten the SEC at trial. We have won jury verdicts for commercial clients. Every matter we take is staffed and prepared as if it will be tried, because that preparation is what produces the best settlement when settlement is the right call.

We sit on either side of the "v."

We are not a plaintiffs' firm or a defense firm. We represent defendants in criminal and civil cases, and we represent plaintiffs, including whistleblowers, investors, and companies harmed by fraud. We have sued a major cryptocurrency exchange and defended executives of a bankrupt one. Working both sides makes us better at each: we know how the other side thinks because we have been the other side.

We stay small on purpose.

Dynamis is a boutique by design. Senior lawyers stay on the matter from intake through resolution. There are no layers between the client and the lawyer making decisions, and no hand-offs to lawyers who have never met the file. The structure lets us move fast when facts change, and in government investigations and emergency litigation, facts change daily.

Our associates stand up in court.

Our associates take depositions, argue motions, and examine witnesses early in their careers, work that larger firms reserve for senior lawyers. Clients get a team that knows the record, and associates become trial lawyers faster. Lawyers who want that kind of practice should see our careers page.

We build our own tools.

We use data as advocacy. In 2026 we launched the Dynamis Federal Sentencing Explorer, which organizes twelve years of U.S. Sentencing Commission data (805,875 cases) by offense, guideline level, criminal history, and district. We built it because sentencing arguments should rest on how judges actually sentence, not on anecdote. Our analysis of what the data shows explains how to use it.
