PilieroMazza is proud to announce the launch of its White Collar Defense Group, a strategic expansion of the firm’s litigation capabilities designed to protect businesses and individuals facing high-stakes criminal, civil, and regulatory exposure.

Led by Mark Rosenow, a former U.S. Air Force trial judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel, the Group brings a rare combination of criminal and civil courtroom experience, judicial insight, and strategic judgment to matters where reputations, operations, livelihoods, and liberty are on the line.

“The stakes in white collar defense matters are extraordinarily high,” said Mark. “Clients need counsel who can negotiate from a position of strength by being ready for trial. That’s us. So, our approach is straightforward: we resolve cases efficiently when we can and litigate forcefully when we must.”

The White Collar Defense Group represents companies and executives at every stage of a government investigation, from early risk assessment and internal reviews to responses to subpoenas and civil investigative demands, negotiations with enforcement authorities, and, when necessary, trial and appeal. The Group focuses on defending allegations of fraud, false statements, conspiracy, and matters arising under the False Claims Act, with particular experience in industries such as defense, construction, and technology.

“Government enforcement actions often threaten a company’s growth, contracts, and long-term viability,” said Todd Reinecker, Chair of the Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group. “Our team understands how regulatory exposure intersects with federal contracting and procurement. We help clients protect their eligibility, maintain compliance, and remain competitive no matter the nature of the proceeding.”

Drawing on the firm’s extensive experience with federal agencies and procurement-related enforcement, the Group provides practical, business-focused guidance that aligns legal strategy with operational realities. Whenever possible, the team works to resolve matters early and discreetly to minimize cost and business disruption.

With deep experience in federal and state courts nationwide, the White Collar Defense Group enhances PilieroMazza’s ability to serve businesses confronting complex enforcement risks while safeguarding their rights, reputations, and bottom lines.
