He was an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice, first for the Board of Immigration Appeals in 1941, and then for the Alien Enemy Control Unit in 1942. From 1942 to 1943, he was a law clerk to Justice Stanley F. Reed.[1]
He was the principal attorney of the Foreign Economic Administration from 1943 to 1944, and was then legal advisor to the Balkan and Greece missions of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration from 1944 to 1945. He returned to the Department of Justice as a trial attorney in the Office of Alien Property from 1945 to 1957,[2] and in the Antitrust Division from 1957 to 1958. He then served as general counsel of the Development and Resources Corporation from 1958 to 1959, and as a partner in the Manhattan law firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1960 to 1968.[1][2]
