Peter Lallas

Drawing on his more than 20 years of experience in private practice and as a highly-decorated federal prosecutor, Peter represents people and companies in sensitive, high-stakes government and regulatory enforcement matters, internal investigations, and complex civil litigation. He has tried more than 40 cases and litigates in federal and state courts around the country. In both private practice and during his time in government, Peter handled a wide array of matters relating to wire fraud, bribery, securities fraud, insider trading, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Investment Advisors Act, embezzlement, money laundering, sanctions violations, and a range of business disputes.

Peter represents individuals, small businesses, and officers of public and private companies who find themselves under government investigation or defending against a lawsuit. He knows how challenging these periods are for his clients and uses his extensive experience in the government and in the courtroom to tirelessly advocate for the results his clients deserve. And he never, ever gives up.

Before joining the firm, Peter served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, a Trial Attorney in the Justice Department’s FCPA Unit, and a Senior Trial Counsel with the SEC. His work included an investigation of professional sports teams for potential FCPA violations; a string of successful bribery prosecutions related to federal procurement fraud; prosecution of an international financial institution that led to a nearly $1 billion global resolution involving federal, state, and foreign law enforcement; and the largest COVID fraud case DOJ ever brought. Peter received a number of awards from the Justice Department, SEC, FBI, the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. Before joining the federal government, Peter worked for six years at a large, international law firm where he handled an array of civil and criminal matters and tried civil cases in federal courts.
