PilieroMazza is pleased to announce that Paul Allulis joined the Firm as Counsel in its Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group, following his tenure as a senior attorney with the Department of Justice. “I’m excited to join PilieroMazza’s distinguished litigation team and contribute to the Firm’s mission of helping clients resolve disputes efficiently and effectively,” said Paul Allulis. “We’re thrilled to welcome Paul to the team,” remarked Todd Reinecker, Practice Group Chair. “Paul brings a rare dual perspective that strengthens our ability to advocate for clients navigating disputes with federal agencies or in commercial settings. His deep litigation experience and strategic mindset are a tremendous asset to our team and our clients.”
A seasoned litigator and appellate attorney with over 25 years of experience representing businesses and government entities in complex disputes, with a particular focus on government contracting, tax controversy, and government investigations, Paul advises clients on high-stakes litigation involving federal procurement, regulatory compliance, tax controversy disputes, and enforcement matters. He brings deep knowledge of the federal legal landscape, courtroom experience at every level of the judiciary, and a practical understanding of the regulatory challenges that government contractors and private-sector companies face.
As lead counsel in more than 100 appeals across every U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Paul addressed matters involving constitutional, tax, and administrative law issues central to government contractors, as well as intricate statutory and regulatory regimes. He has argued dozens of appeals and authored U.S. Supreme Court briefs at both the certiorari and merits stages—appearing for both principal parties and as amicus curiae.
Paul also has extensive experience at the trial level, having served as lead or co-lead counsel in dozens of matters before U.S. District and Bankruptcy Courts. Notably, he tried complex, multi-week cases involving sophisticated tax shelter structures and high-value federal enforcement actions—experience that translates into effective courtroom advocacy for PilieroMazza’s government contractor clients facing False Claims Act allegations, audits, suspension and debarment proceedings, and contract disputes.
Before entering public service, Paul practiced at a national law firm, where he worked on trial teams in complex commercial litigation. That work spanned antitrust, corporate insurance recovery, internal investigations, and white-collar defense, including the False Claims Act—areas that continue to impact companies operating in the highly regulated government contracting space.
