Frank Libby represents public companies and their executives, and private individuals, drawn into governmental investigations and criminal proceedings. In his 20 years as a trial attorney, Mr. Libby has conducted more than 30 jury trials and numerous bench trials. He appears frequently in both state and federal courts and before administrative tribunals, and has had extensive experience representing companies and individuals before grand juries and in connection with administrative investigations and proceedings.

   Mr. Libby has expertise in minimizing corporate exposure to government regulators, where there may be reason to suspect possible senior management or other employee wrongdoing. He has significant experience in conducting sensitive, internal investigations on behalf of publicly-held companies, and other corporate clients, where employee wrongdoing exposes the client to both governmental and private scrutiny and possible sanctions, including criminal liability and shareholder action.

   After several years as a civil trial lawyer with a major Boston law firm, where he represented clients in complex business disputes and professional liability cases, Mr. Libby was appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boston, where he served in both the Civil and Criminal Divisions (1989-1996). As a Civil Assistant U.S. Attorney, he appeared as the government's chief trial counsel, bringing enforcement actions on behalf of the United States, and defending civil claims, including claims for injunctive relief and administrative review, brought against the United States and its agencies. As a federal prosecutor, Mr. Libby conducted and supervised numerous grand jury investigations. While with the U.S. Attorney's Office, he represented the government in a number of important jury trials, including the so-called Roslindale bombing case, which arose out of the death, in 1991, of a Boston Bomb Squad officer, and the Charlestown "Code of Silence" drug and murder conspiracy case.

   Mr. Libby is a 1982 cum laude graduate of Suffolk Law School, where he served as an Editor of the Suffolk Law Review. Thereafter, he served as law clerk to the Honorable Richard B. Kellam, Senior U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia. On his graduation, in 1974, from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Mr. Libby was appointed a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army and served as a military Air Rescue helicopter pilot on active duty, both overseas and stateside, and with the Massachusetts National Guard.

   Mr. Libby is a member of the Boston Bar Association and the American Bar Association (including the white collar Crime Section), and is admitted to practice before all courts and agencies of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the First Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
