Devin Charles Ringger (he/him) represents victims of anti-American terrorist attacks in lawsuits against entities and individuals that have allegedly aided and abetted foreign terrorist organizations. The defendants in those lawsuits include state sponsors of terrorism, global corporations, and others.
Prior to joining Sparacino PLLC, Mr. Ringger litigated at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in Washington, D.C., where his practice encompassed civil and criminal litigation matters, complex internal investigations, and government enforcement actions brought by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as a robust impact litigation docket focused on representing American veterans and their families in lawsuits against terrorist financiers, and a pro bono docket including Supreme Court and federal amicus work in cases touching upon reproductive rights and LGBTQIA issues. Before that, he practiced at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Washington, D.C., where he focused on federal civil litigation representing companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors, and represented Maryland’s Historical Black Colleges and Universities in an expansive civil rights lawsuit against the State of Maryland that yielded one of the largest civil rights settlements in American history.
In his civil litigation and investigations practice, Mr. Ringger has significant experience handling confidential investigations for corporate clients, including inquiries into allegations raised by whistleblowers and government agencies relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations; environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies and “greenwashing” claims; and cross-border issues relating to procurement, sales, and contracting issues involving third parties and government officials. Mr. Ringger has represented companies and individuals across a wide array of industries and sectors, including those relating to energy, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, medical devices, fashion, telecommunications, entertainment, and technology. An intermediate Spanish speaker, Mr. Ringger has used this ability to lead teams of Spanish-language attorneys in complex, cross-border investigations and nuanced lobbying efforts for non-U.S. clients as a registered agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Prior to entering law practice, Mr. Ringger graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. He also received a Master of Public Policy (M.P.P.) from the Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy, where he was nominated for the Outstanding Thesis Prize, and a Bachelor of Arts in History from Yale University, where he was likewise nominated for the History Department’s Senior Thesis Prize.
