He advises corporate boards, officers and individuals in achieving results aligned with each client’s interests and objectives.

Greg handles complex civil and criminal cases, including under various state and federal environmental statutes, and in every phase of False Claims Act (FCA) proceedings, including government investigation and declination, litigation with relators and DOJ, the Granston Memo, suspension and debarment, and appeal. Greg also counsels museums and collectors in responding to investigations by foreign nations and state and federal governments regarding the provenance, repatriation, and forfeiture of pieces of artwork.
