Maier, Lathrop GPM's Litigation & Dispute Resolution
practice group chair. "Mike's professional experience and
demonstrated ability to handle intricate cases is an asset to
Lathrop GPM and the clients we serve. We welcome him to the
partnership and to the Dallas
office."
Piazza will focus on white collar defense and investigations,
regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and trial
representation. He handles cases related to allegations brought by
U.S. regulatory authorities including state attorneys general, the
Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities & Exchange
Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (PCAOB), and foreign regulatory authorities. A
nationally recognized authority, Mike is regularly quoted by the
Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Bloomberg, Law360, and
Capitol Matters.
"I am excited to be a partner at Lathrop GPM, collaborating with
a team that holds a wealth of experience matched with a clear and
consistent passion for the law and the clients we serve," said
Piazza. "The increasing scope of government regulation that touches
many aspects of business activity has created a situation where
more law-abiding businesses and individuals find themselves
targeted in regulatory and law enforcement investigations initiated
by aggressive regulators and prosecutors. This can be overwhelming
and frightening for clients. I strive to give them the best
possible representation while simultaneously helping them manage
the pressure of dealing with an ongoing government investigation or
lawsuit."
Piazza earned his J.D. from the University
of Minnesota Law School, magna cum laude and Order of the
Coif, and his bachelor's degree cum laude from Carleton College. He is a Fellow with Litigation
Counsel of America and a member of the Association of Securities
and Exchange Commission Alumni (ASECA).
