Marci A. Gilligan Named Partner in White Collar Defense Practice at Kamlet Shepherd & Reichert, LLP

DENVER–(EMWNews)–Kamlet Shepherd & Reichert, LLP announced today that Marci Gilligan has

joined the firm as a partner in the White Collar Defense and Criminal

Defense practice areas, adding strength of expertise and reputation to

the already successful niche practice. She specializes in the

representation of corporate and individual clients facing criminal and

regulatory actions in both state and federal courts. Ms. Gilligan has

successfully defended significant and complex federal trials, ranging

from securities fraud to tax fraud, involving CEOs and corporate

officers of Fortune 500 companies. Among her many accomplishments, Ms.

Gilligan was most recently trial counsel in some of Colorado’s

highest-profile white collar cases, including the 2007 insider trading

trial of the former CEO of Qwest Communications, and the 2004 securities

fraud trial of a Vice President of Qwest Communications, in which she

won acquittals on all counts.

Ms. Gilligan is equally competent in the boardroom as the courtroom, as

her regulatory practice routinely requires her to advise companies in

the context of corporate compliance and internal investigations.

Additionally, she has represented clients in complex litigation

pertaining to the Clean Water Act, the Air Carrier Access Act and the

Federal Tort Claims Act. She has also briefed and argued cases before

the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Beyond her white collar practice, Ms. Gilligan remains committed to

indigent defense. In 2007, she was appointed by her peers, and

unanimously approved by the judges of the U.S. District Court of

Colorado, for membership on the Criminal Justice Act Panel. Ms. Gilligan

received similar honors by her appointment to the Board of the Faculty

of Federal Advocates.

“We’re thrilled to

have been able to attract someone of Marci’s

caliber,” said Fredric Winocur, partner and

chair of the white collar group at Kamlet Shepherd. “She

is widely regarded as one of the rising stars in the legal community,

and was a key member of the defense teams on some of the biggest cases we’ve

seen in the last 10 years. Marci is the perfect complement to our

existing practice.”

“I’m very excited

to join Kamlet Shepherd,” said Gilligan. “They

offer an unparalleled platform to practice criminal defense, and they

get incredible results. I was also impressed with the entrepreneurial

drive and passion about both the development of the firm, and the

practice of law. There is a real energy here.”

Gilligan earned a bachelor’s degree from the

University of Kansas and her law degree from the University of Kansas

School of Law. Prior to joining the firm, Gilligan was partner in the

Denver offices of Richilano & Gilligan.
