Gary J. Mouw

Gary’s practice is primarily focused on representing companies and individuals – in Michigan and across the country – in connection with government enforcement actions and white collar criminal defense. He has extensive experience conducting internal investigations in a wide range of matters, including antitrust claims, False Claims Act suits, and environmental matters. Gary has represented clients in investigations conducted by the United States Department of Justice, the United States Attorney’s Offices throughout the country, the United States Department of Defense, and State Attorney General’s Offices. Moreover, he recently served as a member of the team assembled by the Independent Monitor appointed by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York responsible for monitoring General Motors’ obligations under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement arising out of the ignition switch crisis.

Prior to joining the firm, Gary served as a law clerk for the Honorable Cornelia G. Kennedy of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Gordon J. Quist of the United States Court of Appeals for the Western District of Michigan. This behind-the-scenes experience has served him well in another focus of his practice: appellate law. Gary has successfully represented clients in federal and state appellate courts throughout the country, with a particular focus on Sixth Circuit and Michigan Supreme Court cases.
