Adrian Zuckerman (attorney)

Zuckerman graduated from Hamden Hall Country Day School in 1975.[4] He earned a BS in Life Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a BS in Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management and his JD from New York Law School.[5] While at MIT, Zuckerman became a brother of the Lambda Phi Chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.[6]

During his confirmation hearings in June 2019, Zuckerman testified “If confirmed, I would offer continued support for Romania’s noteworthy anti-corruption efforts. ... Fighting corruption and support[ing] judicial independence are vital to Romania’s long-term prosperity and security.” But Rudy Giuliani “appeared to contradict the U.S. State Department’s existing policy position” in August 2018 by writing a letter, at the request of former FBI director Louis Freeh, to Romania’s president “claiming Romania’s National Anticorruption Directorate had crossed the line of acceptable behavior.” Giuliani “requested amnesty be granted to various people prosecuted in Romania, shortly after the State Department urged Romania to continue its ‘considerable progress in combatting corruption and building effective rule of law.’”[3]

In 2007, when Giuliani was seeking the Republican nomination for President, Zuckerman donated $2000 to his campaign.[1] He is also a member of one of Donald Trump’s golf clubs.[7]

Before his tenure at Seyfarth Shaw, Zuckerman was co-head of national real estate and corporate services at Epstein Becker & Green.[1]
