Background

About Peter Ginsberg

I represent clients in a range of white-collar criminal, securities, and civil matters matters, including cases involving marketing practices and insider trading, money laundering, fraud, bribery, tax evasion, antitrust violations, RICO, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I also have extensive experience handling trials and investigations (internal, governmental, and regulatory). Additionally, I have represented parties in high profile sports litigation and disputes. My clientele includes well-known players and coaches across leagues and sports organizations. By way of example, I represented NFL linebacker Jonathan Vilma in the highly publicized New Orleans Saints “bounty” cases; running back Ray Rice in his successful challenge to Commissioner Roger Goodell’s disciplinary authority; and two position players on the Minnesota Vikings in the so-called “StarCaps” litigation that involved an over-the-counter weight loss medication and a groundbreaking challenge to the NFL’s efforts to circumvent state law protection for employees. I have handled litigation, intellectual property, and endorsement matters for several athletes, including for basketball player Kawhi Leonard. Likewise, I litigated on behalf of golf pro Vijay Singh against the PGA Tour, alleging that the organization violated its duty of fair dealing in administering its disciplinary process; represented golfer Patrick Reed, tennis star Madison Brengle, former NFL wide receiver and current commentator Michael Irvin, and former NHL standout Slava Fetisov; and have worked to protect the rights of coaches, including Hall of Famers Larry Brown and Les Miles, and student-athletes and coaches with regard to NCAA actions and university oversight. Given my involvement in so many newsworthy cases, I am often mentioned or otherwise quoted in a variety of media outlets—USA Today, Sports Illustrated, CNBC, ESPN, NBC, CBS, Yahoo Lifestyle, The National Law Review, Law 360, and New York Law Journal, among them, and I am a frequent lecturer at law schools around the country.
