Large corporate enterprises in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, transportation, energy, engineering, and construction industries rely on Nate to conduct complex and often sensitive internal investigations and to provide guidance on the development and implementation of corporate compliance and ethics programs.

At the DA’s office, Nate was selected to serve in an elite narcotics enforcement unit, where he investigated and prosecuted members of some of West Philadelphia’s most notorious drug organizations for crimes including, among others, drug trafficking, armed robbery, and attempted murder. At Morgan Lewis, Nate has served as national punitive damages counsel for a Fortune 200 company, traveling throughout the United States to represent the company in product liability and personal injury trials.
