Mauro M. Wolfe is a Dickstein Shapiro partner in the White Collar Criminal Defense & Investigations Practice. He counsels and defends corporations, financial institutions, and individuals in the areas of securities regulation, securities enforcement, and white collar crime. He also conducts internal investigations related to these areas, as well as in the areas of data breach, art law, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, domestic and international asset forfeiture, computer hacking, terrorism, and Sherman Act antitrust issues. 

In June 2009, Mr. Wolfe was elected to the highly selective and prestigious New York Council of Defense Lawyers, an organization comprising the most well-regarded white collar practitioners in New York.

Mr. Wolfe came to the Firm after a nine-year government career. The capstone of his government experience was the six-week jury trial of a former systems administrator for one of the world’s largest financial services companies, who was charged with unleashing a malicious computer code on his former employer for personal profit. The malicious code, also known as a “logic bomb,” was designed to cripple the company’s brokerage business and managed to shut down more than 2,000 servers, affecting more than 15,000 desktop computers. The prosecution was the first of its kind in the United States, where an individual was charged with both computer intrusion and securities fraud—two highly complex white collar areas.

Mr. Wolfe offers a unique set of experiences and skills that clients seek and need in today’s highly complex and regulated markets. He is an accomplished trial attorney with an education rooted in business and economics. Prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Wolfe spent six years working for a large publicly traded company. His corporate background affords him deep business understanding, and he is sensitive to the issues that concern businesses most. Moreover, Mr. Wolfe’s experience with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Securities Fraud Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey puts him in a rare class of attorneys in the United States. He can carefully guide and counsel clients who are called before securities regulators, a grand jury, or, as is often the case, both. With this special background, Mr. Wolfe is fully prepared and armed to counsel and defend clients challenged by the complex issues faced in today’s regulatory and criminal environments both domestically and internationally.
