Brendan Quigley is a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York and an experienced trial lawyer. He represents organizations and individuals in government and internal investigations and complex civil litigation, including securities enforcement matters and matters arising under the Anti-Terrorism Act and the False Claims Act.

Before joining Baker Botts, Brendan spent almost seven years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), becoming a senior member of the Office's Securities and Commodities Fraud Unit and one of its most seasoned trial lawyers, trying 12 cases to verdict.

While at the SDNY, Brendan investigated and prosecuted numerous complex and high-profile matters.
