Mike Magner is a partner in the Litigation Practice Group. An acclaimed former federal prosecutor, he delivers practical advice and offers a steady hand to clients facing a wide range of commercial disputes, internal investigations, and white collar criminal matters.
Mike is a preeminent, highly respected trial attorney and Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. Drawing on his more than 40 years of experience handling complex criminal and civil matters — including nearly 50 jury trials — he provides preemptive, proactive litigation services for businesses and individuals in an extensive range of complex commercial disputes, internal investigations, and audits. Following his decades of work as a federal prosecutor focused on domestic and international fraud and anti-corruption issues, Mike also has particular experience defending businesses and individuals in white collar criminal matters, grand jury investigations, and other law enforcement and governmental actions.
He regularly counsels and defends clients in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, bribery, and money laundering matters; copyright and trademark infringement and related intellectual property disputes; environmental crimes; cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, and securities matters; mail, wire, and tax fraud and healthcare fraud and abuse cases; export control disputes; and other criminal proceedings. Mike understands the complex pressures facing individuals and businesses under public scrutiny as well as the priorities and processes of law enforcement officials, regulatory agencies, and federal and state judges across the country. With this knowledge, he helps his clients gain a clear understanding of the options available to them and develop and implement effective defense strategies.
Mike routinely works with clients to document and submit voluntary and mandatory disclosures and self-reports, often enabling them to minimize penalties, negotiate favorable deal terms and settlements, and avoid indictments and criminal charges. His negotiating skills also help him achieve favorable settlements in commercial litigation and civil disputes. However, when such options are unavailable or inappropriate, Mike provides strong, effective advocacy before judges and juries in trial and appellate courts.
