Insights & News

A former federal prosecutor and distinguished trial lawyer, Guy centers his practice on complex white collar criminal defense, regulatory enforcement and compliance matters, and internal investigations. He advises clients across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, life sciences, energy, technology, and maritime.

As a trial lawyer in the fraud section of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division, Guy investigated and prosecuted all forms of white collar crime and public corruption throughout the United States. Drawing on his extensive experience, he advises clients on their most high-stakes white collar fraud matters and routinely represents companies and individuals in both internal and government-led investigations, including matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), earnings management investigations, scientific fraud allegations, and other types of alleged corporate misconduct. Guy has appeared before numerous federal agencies, among them the DOJ, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other state agencies and attorneys general.

Guy regularly partners with clients to evaluate and develop corporate compliance programs and advises boards of directors on various matters related to corporate compliance. Guy also has vast experience with corporate crisis management and corporate monitorships and has served as both a government-appointed monitor and as corporate counsel to companies placed under monitorship. Most notably, the DOJ, SEC, and Brazil’s Federal Prosecution Service (MPF) selected him to serve as the corporate monitor in connection with Operation Car Wash, widely regarded as the largest corruption investigation in history. Guy received numerous other commendations from federal and state law enforcement agencies during his tenure at the DOJ.

Prior to the DOJ, Guy handled public corruption, organized crime, sex crimes and other matters as a federal and state prosecutor in South Florida. His breadth of experience makes him a trusted advisor on matters that extend beyond traditional corporate white collar defense. He has, for instance, led investigations involving allegations of sexual misconduct, national security concerns, and art fraud.

Known for his extensive experience in public corruption and white collar crime, Guy is often sought out by the national media for his insights on high-profile cases. Outside of his legal practice, he serves as an adjunct law professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where he teaches a course on corporate governance, ethics, and compliance.
