Biography

Dave Resnicoff helps sophisticated companies and executives manage government investigations, whistleblower allegations, and global compliance obligations in a practical way. Dave has experience in a wide variety of industries, and especially in life-sciences, medical device, and medical technology.

Dave helps his clients build and assess their compliance programs in light of their business model and risk profile. He helps them respond credibly and proportionately through internal investigations to internal allegations of misconduct. And he helps them respond effectively to government investigations by achieving resolution prior to charges ever being lodged, and by defending them vigorously in enforcement proceedings.

Dave offers the unique perspective of a seasoned trial lawyer with more than two decades of experience as a senior compliance executive with two global companies, as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, and as a law-firm partner representing corporate boards, public and private companies, and senior corporate executives. He focuses primarily on matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. health care fraud and abuse regulation, and False Claims Act litigation, among other areas of criminal and civil law enforcement.

Dave’s clients value his pragmatic and engaging approach that delivers practical advice and effective strategies tailored to their industries, business models, and risk.

Dave is also the Lead of the firm’s White Collar, Investigations & Compliance Practice Team.
