About David
Mr. Wachen is a Shareholder in the Firm's Commercial Litigation Department with substantial experience in all aspects of civil trial and appellate litigation. The breadth of his experience spans a wide range of substantive areas, including matters involving complex business disputes, intellectual property, media law, business torts, class actions, telecommunications, insurance, antitrust and bankruptcy. Mr. Wachen has litigated matters in state and federal courts throughout the DC metropolitan area as well as in a number of other states around the country. He has also represented clients at numerous arbitrations and mediations.
A significant portion of Mr. Wachen's practice has focused on helping clients manage risk, avoid litigation and resolve disputes. In this regard, Mr. Wachen has counseled clients at the pre-litigation stage and assisted them, whenever possible, in avoiding or resolving disputes before litigation begins.
Prior to joining Shulman Rogers, Mr. Wachen was Associate Litigation Counsel at MCI, Inc., where he managed a large docket of diverse and complex matters worldwide. His responsibilities included: representing the company in threatened or pending litigation; managing outside counsel in developing and implementing strategy and tactics for pending litigation; negotiating successful resolution of business disputes - often before litigation had been initiated; counseling in-house clients on managing risk and resolving disputes, as well as on issues relating to pending contractual negotiations and disputes with customers, vendors, joint venturers, and the government. Overall, Mr. Wachen served as a legal troubleshooter on a wide range of subjects and issues that confronted his clients daily.
Before joining MCI, Mr. Wachen was in private practice for more than a decade - most recently as a partner at the national law firm of Baker & Hostetler, LLP, where he practiced commercial litigation. A significant portion of his practice involved representing broadcasters, publishers and other members of the media around the country in litigation as well as a variety of other matters. Among other things, he has extensive experience counseling clients on content and newsgathering issues, assisting them in accessing public records and proceedings, and defending them against nonparty subpoenas.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Wachen practiced with the Washington office of Howrey & Simon, and the New York office of Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Following law school, Mr. Wachen clerked for United States District Judge Jay C. Waldman in Philadelphia.
Mr. Wachen graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was editor of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review and chair of the Moot Court Board. He received his undergraduate degree in government from Dartmouth College, where he was also General Manager of the college's two commercial radio stations.
Before becoming a lawyer, Mr. Wachen worked in public relations as an account executive in New York at the international firm of Burson-Marsteller.
