Gina M. Parlovecchio

Prior to joining Mayer Brown, Gina was an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) in the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), where she served as the chief of the office’s International Narcotics and Money Laundering Section (INMLS). As a federal prosecutor for more than a decade, Gina investigated, prosecuted and tried some of the EDNY’s most complex, sensitive and high-profile cases across a wide spectrum of subject matters, including international money laundering, Bank Secrecy Act violations, mail and wire fraud, tax fraud, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) violations, pharmaceutical regulatory compliance, bribery and international public corruption, among other areas. She tried a dozen criminal trials to verdict, including serving as lead trial counsel in the EDNY’s recent prosecution of one of the world’s largest drug kingpins, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera. She also argued criminal appeals before the Second Circuit. Before becoming the chief of INMLS, she served as the INMLS deputy chief and co-chief of the Anti-Money Laundering Strike Force. She previously served in the office’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section and General Crimes Section, and played a critical role in building the office’s money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act practice. 

Before becoming an AUSA, Gina worked on significant securities, commercial, patent and employment litigation matters at a large national law firm. Earlier in her career, she clerked for the Hon. Edith Brown Clement of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
