Practice Areas
Mary Mulligan is co-head of Friedman Kaplan’s white collar criminal defense practice. Over the course of her more than 30-year career, she has handled matters involving virtually all aspects of white collar crime and internal investigations. She has been described by the New York Law Journal as a “heavy hitter” in the white collar defense bar and is renowned for her work handling high-profile cases for clients and significant, confidential matters resolved behind the scenes which are not publicized.
Today, she represents clients in the financial services and other industries in connection with allegations of money laundering, insider trading, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, criminal antitrust violations, securities fraud, tax fraud, off-label marketing, False Claim Act violations, mail and wire fraud, Federal Election Campaign Act violations, public corruption, healthcare fraud, and other matters. She has also served as an integrity counsel to a hedge fund and as a monitor in the construction industry, and handles a variety of matters involving institutions of higher education, including advising on governance, intellectual property, Title IX issues, allegations of sexual assault and abuse, conducting internal investigations, and responding to local, state, and federal inquiries.
Mary previously served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, directing investigations and prosecutions of fraud, public corruption, and financial crimes.
Career
Mary’s recent experience includes serving as lead counsel in defense of the former Chief Financial Officer of Archegos Capital Management in a prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, including through a 2024 nine-week criminal trial involving charges of RICO conspiracy, securities fraud, and mail and wire fraud relating to the family office’s 2021 collapse. In related civil actions, Mary and the firm previously obtained the dismissal of a CFTC enforcement action filed in the SDNY and continue to represent the client in a related SEC enforcement action and in a case brought by a former Archegos employee.
Mary regularly represents analysts, traders, and portfolio managers in connection with insider trading and securities related matters.
