Career

Few people understand government and the courts the way Ripley Rand does. Prior to joining Womble Bond Dickinson, Ripley served for six years as one of the President’s United States Attorneys in North Carolina. In this role, Ripley supervised hundreds of investigations and prosecutions and coordinated with multiple law enforcement agencies on national and international matters, including terrorism cases, white collar criminal investigations, federal criminal defense, and violent crime intervention. Ripley also served for eight years as a state Superior Court Judge, presiding over thousands of criminal and civil cases throughout North Carolina. He was specially assigned to oversee complex civil cases by the Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court and handled hundreds of matters involving business disputes.

With more than twenty years of combined prosecutorial and judicial experience, Ripley has a deep background in handling investigative and enforcement matters, crisis management issues, and devising successful strategies in dealing with law enforcement agencies such as DOJ, FBI, SEC, EPA, and others.

Since joining Womble Bond Dickinson, Ripley has represented a broad array of companies and individuals in criminal, civil, and regulatory matters involving complex fraud, antitrust, trade practice, federal criminal defense, and consumer protection actions. As one of the few lawyers with combined United States Attorney and judicial experience, Ripley offers unique insights into the way government agencies approach investigations and regulatory issues. He helps clients design response strategies that put them in the best possible position to obtain favorable outcomes or avoid litigation altogether.
