Craig A. Wolson, Esq.
Securities & Financial Industry Standards · Licensed: NY
Biography
Wolson operates as an independent expert witness and consultant through his firm, Wolson Consulting Group, in New York, NY — his own site is explicit that this is his current role, distinct from his earlier career as a practicing transactional attorney. He holds the "Esq." credential as a licensed attorney but functions today as a paid expert-witness consultant, not as litigating counsel. Prior to consulting, he held associate, special counsel, and partner-level positions at three major law firms: Shearman & Sterling, Mayer Brown & Platt, and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, working in structured finance and securitization transactions. He has been an American Arbitration Association roster arbitrator since 2010, selected for expertise in structured finance, securities, and derivatives, and formerly chaired the New York City Bar Association's Structured Finance Committee (2004–2008). His site also lists recognition as a "New York Super Lawyer" (Law and Politics Magazine), the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award (2018), and listings in several Who's Who directories. His site states 15+ years as an expert witness and consultant, having worked with litigation firms including Berger Montague, Chapman and Cutler, Robbins Geller, and Williams & Connolly. Core specialty areas: securities fraud, derivatives (credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, currency swaps), structured finance/securitization (asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, CLOs), legal malpractice, secured lending, and general corporate matters. Publications: co-editor and chief author of "Frequently Used Terms in Securitization and Structured Finance Transactions" (American Bar Association), with additional pieces in The Business Lawyer, Michigan Law Review, and Law360.
