Keynote Speaker:
Andrew S. Fastow
Despite today’s more regulated and enlightened business environment, we continue to witness
―Enron-esque‖ failures of corporate governance. Enron’s former CFO will make observations about
how the ambiguity and complexity of laws and regulations breeds opportunity for problematic
decisions and will discuss what questions corporate directors, management, attorneys, and
accountants should ask in order to ensure that their companies not only follow the rules, but uphold
the principles behind them.
Mr. Fastow was the Chief Financial Officer of Enron Corp. from 1998 – 2001. In 2004, he pled guilty
to two counts of securities fraud, and was sentenced to six years in federal prison. He completed his
sentence in 2011, and now lives with his family in Houston, Texas. Mr. Fastow currently provides
litigation support at a law firm, and he consults with Directors and management of public companies
on how best to identify potentially critical finance, accounting, compensation, and cultural issues.
Mr. Fastow received his BA in Economics and Chinese from Tufts University and an MBA in Finance
from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. Prior to joining Enron,
he was a Senior Director in the Asset Securitization Group at Continental Bank N.A.
Since his release from prison, Mr. Fastow has been a guest lecturer at universities, corporations,
management and corporate director conferences, legal and fraud groups, and a United Nations
conference.

Cathy Fleming
Areas of Practice: Complex litigation including business, tax, securities, and antitrust; corporate
governance, white-collar defense and investigations; and consults on diversity/women’s initiatives.
Cathy serves as managing partner of the New York City office at Hodgson Russ LLP and is head of the
firm's New York Tax Investigations & Defense Practice Group. She focuses her practice on complex civil
litigation and white-collar criminal cases, and has extensive experience in commercial, securities,
employment, tax, antitrust, health care law, and international extraditions. Cathy has tried more than 50
cases to verdict, most of which have been in federal courts, including in New York, New Jersey, Florida,
Texas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and California. She conducts internal integrity audits and
investigations for corporations and public bodies. She also provides counsel to corporate management and
committees and has represented members of special committees in defense against shareholder
complaints in federal and state tender offer litigation.
Cathy represents large companies and their executives and employees in investigations, including criminal
investigations, SEC enforcement proceedings, class-action lawsuits, and other civil cases. She regularly
represents major brokerage houses in arbitrations, often in cases involving millions of dollars. She has
significant experience representing public accounting companies and financial institutions.
A significant portion of Cathy’s work cannot be disclosed, since the matters were never made public. A
small sample of Cathy’s experience includes: representing clients before New York and federal tax
9
authorities, representing clients in health care investigations, and representing clients in connection with
OFAC matters. She has acted as co-lead counsel in securities litigation, acted as lead counsel in defense of
a number of SEC enforcement cases involving various industries, and defended public accounting firms in
numerous proceedings stemming from frauds committed by accounting firm clients.
Cathy obtained an acquittal in Bronx Supreme for a contractor accused of perjury in connection
with a grand jury investigating a former NYC police commissioner.
Cathy obtained a successful result in a federal case for a business executive charged with
conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens and conspiracy to impede the functions of the Social Security
Administration and Internal Revenue Service (United States District Court, Southern District of
Texas).
In a case receiving international media attention, Cathy successfully defended against four federal
attempts to extradite a former deputy attorney general of Mexico. She thereafter successfully
prevented his deportation by convincing a federal court that the statute on which the government
relied was unconstitutional (United States v. Reno, District of New Jersey).
In a case of first impression, Cathy obtained the decision of a federal court requiring the United
States Attorney for the District of New Jersey to retract a report published on its Web site that
revealed grand jury material and ordered the United States attorney to apologize to her client, a
former lieutenant governor of Texas.
Cathy co-tried to a successful verdict an environmental case involving migration and fate of
DNAPLs and LNAPLs (Gussack v. Xerox, Southern District of New York).
In a federal criminal antitrust case prosecuting suppliers who sold frozen food to the New York City
Board of Education, Cathy defended the only frozen food distributor who went to trial.
Cathy defended a former mayor of Newark, New Jersey, against an 18-count indictment. The ten-
week federal prosecution resulted in a hung jury.
Professional Affiliations: Cathy served as president of the National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL),
the oldest women's bar association in the United States, from 2006 to 2007, and was a member of the
executive board of NAWL from 2004 to 2010. She is also a founding director of the NAWL Foundation
(2007-2014). In connection with her work for NAWL, Cathy counsels corporations and law firms on
implementing and enriching diversity initiatives. From 2008 to 2012 , Cathy served on the New Jersey
Supreme Court Committee on Women in the Courts, and she has served since 1997 as a trustee of the
Historical Society for the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. For four years, she served as a
member and hearing chair for the New Jersey Supreme Court Ethics Committee, District V, Essex County.
Cathy also teaches regularly at the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.
