Patrick Mincey is a trial lawyer, trusted advisor in public relations crises, and counselor to any situation.
He represents domestic and foreign clients in litigation throughout the United States and investigations worldwide, having appeared as lead counsel in matters from Las Vegas to London.
Mr. Mincey founded and manages both the firm’s White Collar, Government Investigations & Special Matters Practice Group and the Administrative, Regulatory & Government Law Group.
Global Investigations & Government Prosecutions
Mr. Mincey represents prominent corporations and professionals in their most challenging criminal, civil and regulatory cases— including at jury and bench trials, and on appeal— before federal and state courts throughout the United States and investigative forums around the world. He regularly advises executives and their boards on corporate governance during high-profile crises.
He has represented clients in prosecutions and investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the SEC, EPA, FDA, IRS, USPS, CFTC, FinCEN, Departments of State, Homeland Security, Defense, Treasury, Commerce, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, the National Security Council, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, numerous Offices of Inspectors General, United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office, U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, U.S. bank and financial regulators, and their international counterparts on six different continents.
Mr. Mincey has extensive experience in numerous cases where criminal and civil exposure reaches billions of dollars, and he is routinely involved in prosecutions where individuals face decades of imprisonment. His clients include a diverse group of professionals and c-suite executives, international conglomerates, private and Fortune 100 companies, securities and real estate brokerages, accounting, investment advisors and law firms, national politicians and political campaigns. His clients operate in disparate industries, ranging from international finance and tech to defense, energy, media, agriculture, real estate development, health care, insurance and education.
Mr. Mincey also has experience representing elected officials and those serving in high-level government positions. In addition to litigation involving cross-border matters, Mr. Mincey has defended clients in criminal maritime investigations and prosecutions of international shipping vessel owners and their officers.
Qui Tam Relators & Whistleblowers
Mr. Mincey represents select qui tam relators and other whistleblowers under the False Claims Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Whistleblower, FinCEN / Anti-Money Laundering Act, and related federal programs. While many whistleblower matters remain confidential or under seal, his high-profile whistleblower matters include separate multi-billion dollar matters involving two candidates for President of the United States:
- SEC Office of the Whistleblower. In parallel investigations by U.S. Attorney’s Office for Southern District of New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission and United States Senate, representation of whistleblower Will Wilkerson concerning former President Donald Trump’s social media company which owns and operates Truth Social. The case— which concerns alleged securities violations and suspicious loans into Trump’s company with ties to the Kremlin and a Vladimir Putin ally— has received extensive international media coverage including multiple front-page stories in the Washington Post here and here.
- SEC Office of the Whistleblower. In parallel investigations by DOJ and SEC—as well as numerous foreign government counterparts in Europe and South America— representation of whistleblower Mark Coffey, former registered investment advisory chief compliance officer who exposed alleged $ 2 billion international conspiracy involving Venezuela’s Oil Minister and United Nations Ambassador to launder stolen money from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) through major U.S. financial institutions. See additional Wall Street Journal coverage here and Miami Herald coverage here. Media coverage of U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s role advising a firm tied to the scandal is available here.
Complex Business Litigation & Regulatory Enforcement
Mr. Mincey advises professionals, boards and companies in disputes concerning international finance and securities fraud, the False Claims Act, Anti-Money Laundering Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Sherman Act, Stark Law / Anti-Kickback and health care compliance, antitrust, environmental regulation, Treasury Department sanctions, cryptocurrency and digital assets, class actions, financial and sexual employment misconduct, RICO, qui tam relators and government whistleblowers, cyber security and data breaches, unfair and deceptive business practices, trade secrets and economic espionage.
The Media & Crisis Management
Mr. Mincey understands that practical realities mean businesses operate in an environment where public judgment will be rendered long before a court room verdict. In crisis, existential business decisions vital to survival must be reached based on imperfect information. He and his colleagues are the confident, calm hand at the helm because they have spent their careers guiding individuals, organizations, and public officials through public relations crises.
Because his cases typically involve bet-the-company litigation, high-profile individuals, extremely significant financial exposure and/or the prospect of lengthy prison sentences, they have been reported on in numerous languages by major news outlets in the U.S., Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.
Mr. Mincey is proud many of his most difficult cases have remained confidential by keeping them out of public reporting. Because that is not always possible, he maintains close personal relationships with international media personnel and routinely helps manage communications strategies to reassure clients’ standing in the business community.
Grand Jury Subpoenas, Civil Investigative Demands & Internal Investigations
Mr. Mincey regularly advises clients navigating federal grand jury subpoenas, civil investigative demands and regulatory investigations. He has extensive experience guiding large legal teams comprised of dozens of attorneys on internal investigations involving fraud or other employment-related misconduct, including under the False Claims Act and other government whistleblower programs.
Outside the Courtroom & Boardroom
Mr. Mincey studied at the London School of Economics and New York University’s Paris Campus. He is fluent in French and a fourth-generation trial lawyer trained at Mercer University.
His wife, Lydia, is a classically trained artist reared in Tanzania and Jackson Hole, Wyoming who worked in France and the Czech Republic before returning to the United States. An avid conservationist and hunter, Mr. Mincey and his family enjoy sailing in Down East Maine during the summer and, in cooler months, wing shooting at their Georgia family farm where they raise Santa Gertrudis cattle. They reside on the North Carolina coast where he likes to paddleboard and fly fish the inland skinny waters.
Leadership, Honors & Awards
In 2022, Mr. Mincey accepted an invitation to join IR Global, a Chambers and Partners Band-1 ranked professional network comprised of legal, financial, and accounting professionals from around the world. With its global reach, Mr. Mincey and his White Collar team bring expansive relationships and expertise across all time zones to enhance client service no matter where a crisis may arise.
In 2021, Mr. Mincey was appointed to a four-year term on the North Carolina Advisory Committee for the United States Commission on Civil Rights. The Commission is a bipartisan, independent body that investigates, reports on and makes recommendations to, the President of the United States and Congress concerning pressing civil rights issues of our time.
Mr. Mincey has received numerous accolades and awards from his peers and top legal publications, including:
- American Bar Foundation, Fellow since 2019
