    /My focus

    I focus on defending businesses and executives in the energy, health care, defense contracting, and higher education industries facing enforcement actions or civil or criminal liability under the False Claims Act, health care statutes, state environmental laws, or state consumer protection acts. I have experience advising clients on matters at various stages—from internal investigation to subpoena or civil investigative demand response through to civil or criminal enforcement and criminal or civil trial, appeal, and follow-on litigation. I have successfully argued and won cases before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal, and trial courts, including matters of first impression.  I have a strong background in civil litigation and arbitration. I also defend plan fiduciaries and sponsors in ERISA class actions and advise on antitrust matters.

    I have written and counseled widely on topics related to e-discovery, and have advised many clients in a wide range of industries on issues from retention and collection through production and motion practice in this area.

    /Representative experience

    Prior Experience

    Ronaldo previously worked in the Office of the Prosecutor in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, as legal assistant to the general counsel of International Crisis Group, in the Office of United States Senator John F. Kerry, and in the chambers of U.S. District Judge Mark L. Wolf.

    /Looking ahead

    Major changes in the federal administration have shifted enforcement priorities, which have led to state statutes and regulations taking a more important role in investigations, and state attorneys general taking the lead in many joint investigations. These changes, which are most pronounced in the environmental and financial services sectors, indicate that knowledge of state prosecutorial methods will be increasingly important to many businesses and executives.
