About Joseph
Joseph Moreno built a foundation in the liberal arts before turning to law and accounting. He earned a B.A. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1996. He then received his J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law in 1999 and attended St. John’s University again in 2000.
Moreno holds professional admissions in New York, the District of Columbia and Virginia. He is also a Certified Public Accountant licensed through the New York State Education Department. That dual credential set shapes how he approaches matters that touch both legal rules and financial detail.
Early in his legal career Moreno served as an associate at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP. In that role he worked on matters that required coordination across teams and disciplines. Colleagues describe him as someone who draws on his accounting background when evaluating transactional structures and compliance questions.
He maintains active memberships in several professional organizations. He is a current member of the American Bar Association, the Federalist Society and the Republican National Lawyers Association. Those affiliations reflect his engagement with both mainstream bar activities and viewpoint-specific legal groups.
Moreno’s profile is that of a practitioner who blends a legal education and a CPA credential. He has moved between law and accounting enough to appreciate how regulatory and financial issues intersect. That perspective informs how he reviews contracts, assesses risk and communicates complex technical points to clients and teams.
He continues to practice as an associate at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, combining legal and accounting expertise in his day-to-day work.
