Associate
Ross MacPherson is a litigator and a member of Nixon Peabody’s Government Investigations and White Collar Defense practice group. He represents entities and individuals in government investigations, regulatory inquiries, and complex civil and criminal litigation.
My practice focuses on assisting clients with white-collar investigations, criminal defense, and complex commercial disputes. I have a breadth of experience across every facet of litigation and investigations. I guide clients through internal investigations as well as DOJ, SEC, FINRA, and state attorney general enforcement actions involving potential liability for bribery, corruption, false claims, kickbacks, insider trading, deceptive consumer practices, and fraud. I also handle civil and bankruptcy litigation for clients in a variety of industries including private equity, healthcare, e-commerce, manufacturing, and real estate.
I maintain an active pro bono practice in which I have scored critical victories for charitable organizations, veterans seeking discharge status upgrades, indigent housing tenants, and asylum-seekers. During law school, I represented several low-income veterans through Michigan Law School's Veterans Legal Clinic.
Prior to joining NP in 2024, I was an associate at another global law firm, where I focused on government enforcement actions and commercial litigation.

State and federal government agencies are aggressively investigating and prosecuting white-collar crimes. To do so, they have advanced novel interpretations of long-standing laws to adapt to the changing business environment. Whether clients are developing compliance policies, responding to grand jury subpoenas, or defending their practices in court, it is of paramount importance that companies seek counsel to determine how the government may apply old laws to new situations.
