Surya Saxena

Government Enforcement & Corporate Investigations, Anti-Corruption, and Healthcare & Life Sciences

Surya is a former federal prosecutor and in-house counsel who represents clients in government enforcement matters, investigations, white collar crime matters, and complex civil litigation.

Surya is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, an invitation-only organization of trial lawyers whose membership is limited to no more than one percent of the total lawyer population of any state.

Surya has tried over a dozen cases before federal and state juries, argued numerous times before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and represented clients at multiple arbitration hearings.

Surya relies on his blend of in-house and prosecutorial experience to anticipate clients’ goals and distill the complexity of litigation and investigations into clear recommendations and strategies. He leads litigation and investigations teams in a wide variety of civil, criminal, and regulatory matters, including False Claims Act investigations and litigation, healthcare fraud matters, FCPA and anticorruption investigations, regulatory compliance investigations, and complex commercial litigation.

In 2023, Surya was appointed by Governor Tim Walz to serve as a member of Minnesota’s Sentencing Guidelines Commission.
