/My focus

My practice focuses on all aspects of government investigations, white collar criminal cases, internal investigations, and regulatory enforcement matters. I advise clients in responding to subpoenas, civil investigative demands, and deposition requests involving various enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and state attorneys general. I also have experience conducting Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations and engaging in related diligence across several industries, including private equity, consumer products, technology, and manufacturing.

Prior to joining NP, I served as general counsel for a private equity-backed SaaS platform, advising senior executives on key areas of legal risk including commercial, litigation, employment, and regulatory matters. I began my legal career as a clerk in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and was an associate in the white-collar defense group of an international law firm in Washington, DC. Before attending law school, I worked as a police officer for the Nashua Police Department in New Hampshire. Armed with these unique experiences, I bring to clients a pragmatic and thorough approach in investigations, litigation, and crisis management.

/Looking ahead

Federal and state government agencies continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute white collar crimes, with a recent focus across industries on trade crimes, money laundering, and waste, fraud, and abuse of government programs. With the DOJ prioritizing the prosecution of individual offenders for corporate misconduct, companies and executives must work with nimble and experienced counsel to effectively defend against enforcement.
