Bernard DiMuro

Bernard J. DiMuro, Managing Partner of DiMuroGinsberg, PC in Alexandria, Virginia, was named White-Collar Crime and Investigations Lawyer of the Year in Virginia, US at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. A seasoned trial lawyer with more than three decades of experience, he has tried well over two hundred cases and is recognised as one of the region's leading litigators in white-collar and complex commercial matters.

DiMuroGinsberg, PC is an established Alexandria firm that has been an active part of the local legal community for decades. Its practice spans corporate and commercial litigation, business torts and disputes, employment law, criminal law, white-collar crime, RICO matters, professional liability and ethics, and intellectual property and patent cases. Within that range, white-collar crime and investigations is a core strength, drawing on the firm's deep courtroom experience and its familiarity with the federal courts of the region.

DiMuro is particularly well known for his work in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, often referred to as the "Rocket Docket" for the speed with which cases proceed. Litigating effectively in that demanding forum requires thorough preparation, tactical discipline and the ability to move quickly, qualities that have defined his practice over a career of more than thirty years and more than two hundred trials. His experience makes him a formidable advocate in the high-pressure environment of federal white-collar litigation.

White-collar crime and investigations practice involves defending individuals and companies facing allegations of financial and business-related wrongdoing, from fraud and corruption to regulatory violations. It frequently begins well before any charge is laid, with internal investigations and engagement with prosecutors and regulators, and demands both litigation skill and sound judgement about how to protect a client's interests and reputation. An experienced trial lawyer able to take a case to verdict, as DiMuro is, strengthens a client's position at every stage of such matters.

Beyond his trial work, DiMuro is recognised as an authority on professional liability and ethics, and served as President of the Virginia State Bar from 2002 to 2003, a mark of the esteem in which he is held by the wider legal profession. He has been consistently recognised among the leading lawyers in his field, reflecting both his courtroom record and his contribution to the standards of the bar.

The White-Collar Crime and Investigations Lawyer of the Year in Virginia, US award recognises Bernard DiMuro's standing as a trial lawyer and his leadership of DiMuroGinsberg, PC. Combining an extensive record of litigation with a reputation for integrity and expertise in professional ethics, he continues to represent clients in the most serious and demanding matters before the Virginia and federal courts.
