Joseph Aronica Email & Phone Number

I bring the judgment of a seasoned trial lawyer and former senior federal prosecutor to a variety of issues facing both individuals and entities involving their interaction with government agencies.My practice focuses on white-collar criminal and regulatory defense, banking litigation, securities enforcement litigation, FCPA investigations and global anti-corruption matters, false claims and qui tam litigation, complex civil and administrative litigation, internal corporate investigations, professional liability, OFAC and other compliance and corporate matters. I have defended corporations, corporate executives, government officials, lawyers and others in a broad range of white collar criminal cases, including securities and commodities, bank, bankruptcy, healthcare procurement fraud, tax fraud, customs and export violations, bribery and employment restrictive covenant matters.Before entering private practice, I was an AUSA for the EDVA, where I served as senior litigation counsel, chief of the Special Prosecutions Group and chief of the Criminal Division. I received the Attorney General's Distinguished Service Award for my role as lead counsel in the "Illwind" nationwide defense procurement fraud investigation. The investigation, praised by Attorney General Janet Reno as "one of the most successful undertaken by the Department of Justice against white collar crime," resulted in 65 convictions of major defense contractors, corporate executives, consultants and high-level government officials, including a former assistant secretary of the Navy and a former deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force and monetary recoveries in excess of $400 million. I also prosecuted other high-visibility complex cases, including espionage, major arms and technology export violations, securities fraud, tax offenses, murder, healthcare fraud and banking cases, and has handled cases involving the Classified Information Procedures Act and the extensive use of wiretaps.

Listed skills include Fcpa, U.S. Office Of Foreign Assets Control, Internal Investigations, Procurement Fraud, and 7 others.
