A trial lawyer, experienced investigator, and former federal prosecutor, Alexis Loeb’s practice focuses on white-collar defense and government and internal investigations, antitrust matters, and complex civil litigation. She represents companies and individuals in domestic and international matters in courts across the country and before government agencies such as the DOJ, SEC, FTC, FinCEN, and other law enforcement and financial regulatory agencies.

Alexis joins the firm after 11 years at the U.S. Department of Justice as a trial attorney in its Antitrust and Criminal Divisions in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., and in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the Northern District of California and in the District of Columbia, where she worked on some of the DOJ’s most high-profile matters. 

Before returning to private practice, Alexis was a Deputy Chief overseeing the largest DOJ investigation in history: the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. In that role, she conducted and supervised the prosecutions of individuals who participated in the attack, with a focus on complex conspiracy investigations and prosecutions. She was the sole Assistant United States Attorney from the Northern District of California selected to join the effort. Her participation involved extensive electronic discovery, all stages of criminal litigation, frequent trial practice, briefing of novel statutory and constitutional issues, considerable public scrutiny, coordination with other Department of Justice components, and litigation in district court, the D.C. Circuit, and the Supreme Court. Her work was recognized with a Federal Bureau of Investigation award. While she was based out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, she prosecuted a range of crimes and worked for the office’s appellate section, for which she briefed and argued multiple Ninth Circuit appeals.

During her time with the Antitrust Division, Alexis investigated and prosecuted criminal antitrust matters, including convicting several individuals for their role in a multi-year bid-rigging conspiracy following three jury trials. She was honored with an Assistant Attorney General’s award for this work. She also investigated international and domestic price-fixing conspiracy allegations and reviewed companies’ Hart Scott Rodino Act merger-related filings. She served as the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (CHIP) coordinator for the Antitrust Division’s San Francisco office, for which she was the office lead on issues relating to the collection of electronic evidence under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

While at the Criminal Division’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section, she led international financial investigations and prosecutions concerning international money laundering, Bank Secrecy Act, and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, and brought civil forfeiture actions targeting the proceeds of international public corruption schemes. Her matters often required extensive coordination with enforcers around the globe and in the United States.

Prior to joining the DOJ, Alexis was an associate at a national law firm, where she worked on intellectual property and criminal and civil price-fixing conspiracy matters. She clerked for the Honorable Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York.
