Federal Prosecutor Michael Podberesky Joins McGuireWoods’ Government Investigations Team
Summary: He adds exceptional depth to the firm’s formidable False Claims Act investigations and defense team, which includes former federal prosecutors, federal and state appellate and trial court clerks, and trial lawyers with significant healthcare industry experience.
Michael Podberesky, a former federal prosecutor with extensive experience in healthcare and government procurement fraud matters, has joined McGuireWoods’ nationally recognized Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Department as a partner in Washington, D.C.
Podberesky served as a prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Fraud Section from 2015 to 2021. There he led teams investigating and litigating False Claims Act cases in the healthcare and federal procurement sectors.
At McGuireWoods, Podberesky handles healthcare and procurement fraud investigations and litigation, government and internal investigations, and white collar defense. He adds exceptional depth to the firm’s formidable False Claims Act investigations and defense team, which includes former federal prosecutors, federal and state appellate and trial court clerks, and trial lawyers with significant healthcare industry experience.
“Michael enhances our strength in government investigations and white collar litigation and our significant capabilities to serve clients in key industries, including healthcare,” said Dion Hayes, the firm’s deputy managing partner for litigation. “He is a valuable addition and we are delighted to welcome him.”
Podberesky is one of many strategic additions to McGuireWoods’ Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Department over the past year. In recent months, the firm also welcomed partners Elizabeth Hogan, a former senior enforcement official at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA); Jason Cowley, a former federal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York; and Michael Francisco, a recent law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch.
“Michael’s experience leading complex investigations and litigation and his deep knowledge of all facets of fraud enforcement will have immense benefits for our clients, especially those in heavily regulated industries such as healthcare and defense contracting,” said Todd Steggerda, chair of the firm’s Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Department. “He makes our powerhouse practice even stronger.”
A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Podberesky served as a naval flight officer and commanded armed combat and surveillance missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. He was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Medal for his service in Patrol Squadron One (VP-1).
