White Collar Defense
Overview
PilieroMazza’s White Collar Defense Group represents businesses and individuals facing high-stakes criminal, civil, and regulatory exposure. Led by former U.S. Air Force trial judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel Mark Rosenow, the practice brings a rare combination of criminal and civil courtroom experience, judicial insight, and strategic judgment to cases where reputations, operations, livelihoods, and liberty are on the line.
We regularly counsel clients experiencing every phase of a government investigation or white collar defense matter, from early risk assessment and internal review to negotiations with enforcement agencies and, as necessary, trial and appeal. Our practice focuses on defending clients against allegations of fraud, false statements, and conspiracy, including matters arising under the False Claims Act. Whenever possible, the Group resolves issues early and quietly so that clients avoid unnecessary expense and disruption.
Companies across a broad range of industries—such as defense, construction, and technology—rely on the Group for practical and business-focused guidance. Drawing on extensive experience with federal agencies and procurement-related enforcement across the firm, our practice guides clients through compliance challenges, responses to subpoenas and civil investigative demands, and the special difficulties of parallel civil, administrative, and criminal proceedings.
When litigation becomes unavoidable, the White Collar Defense Group is trial-ready no matter the courtroom. Our deep and diverse experience in federal and state courts nationwide, and the favorable resolutions reached for our clients there, are proof positive that we will negotiate when we can but otherwise aggressively litigate to protect our clients’ rights, reputations, and bottom lines.
