Geoffrey Berman, the court-appointed U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, reported earning about $3.5 million in salary and bonus last year at Greenberg Traurig, where his clients included Deutsche Bank and a handful of individuals, according to a financial disclosure released on Thursday.
Berman's disclosure, a required filing for many top government officials, provides a peek into the compensation scheme at one of the country's largest law firms and a broad picture of the client relationships the former white-collar defender left behind when he took over one of the most visible U.S. attorney offices in the country.
The disclosure form, obtained by ALM through a records request, does not appear to offer any more clues why Berman is not overseeing his office's criminal investigation of Michael Cohen, the longtime personal attorney to President Donald Trump. Berman received a 90-day extension to file his financial disclosure, which the U.S. Justice Department certified on Thursday.
