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.

Career

She represents 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 alleging a RICO conspiracy, securities fraud, and mail and wire fraud relating to the family office’s 2021 collapse. Ms. Mulligan and the firm also represent the client in related SEC and CFTC enforcement actions and a civil case brought by a former Archegos employee.

She also recently represented the former longtime Chief Financial Officer of the Trump Organization in the highly publicized New York County District Attorney’s investigation and prosecution of the Trump Corporation, Trump Payroll Corporation, and the client for tax violations. Ms. Mulligan represented the client throughout lengthy and complicated investigations conducted by the DANY and at every stage of the proceedings, notably achieving a unique plea deal and greatly reduced sentence for her client in exchange for his truthful testimony at trial that resulted in the conviction of the Trump Organization in December 2022.
