Tom, a Senior Partner and co-founder of Calcagni & Kanefsky, is a seasoned trial lawyer who draws upon his substantial experience as both a federal prosecutor and top official within the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. His practice is representing corporations and individuals in high-stakes government enforcement actions and internal investigations.

Tom represents companies, boards of directors, executives, and licensed professionals in a broad range of sensitive matters brought by federal and state law enforcement and licensing agencies – including the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Offices of States Attorneys General, and state healthcare and professional licensing boards. He regularly provides strategic counseling on internal investigations and corporate compliance. He has handled matters for professionals and both public and private companies across industries and sectors – including healthcare, life sciences, professional sports, financial services, banking, cryptocurrency, social media, entertainment and leisure, gaming, real estate, insurance, aerospace and defense, education, luxury goods, automotive, and direct-to-consumer sales.

Tom serves as outside general, litigation, and compliance counsel for companies and government entities. He is also appointed by courts and regulators to serve as a third-party, independent compliance monitor.

Tom is ranked by Chambers & Partners among the top practitioners for white-collar litigation and government investigations, with sources describing him as “smart,” “well connected,” “a great communicator with a sharp legal mind,” and “very well regarded [with] a ton of experience.” Clients describe him as “composed, strategic, and vigilant,” with “an unparalleled personal investment in his client that goes beyond the attorney-client relationship.” As one client put it, “Tom was always one step ahead and always cared about what’s right.”
