Dennis M. Walsh

Mr. Walsh is a partner in Fitzmaurice & Walsh, LLP, a firm he started in 2006, with Mark
J. Fitzmaurice. Both are former prosecutors. The firm’s practice areas include commercial and
criminal litigation, special fact gathering and entity monitoring. Among recent matters, Mr. Walsh
has conducted internal investigations of corporations and labor unions, assisted in the court-ordered
monitoring of an international computer manufacturer’s investigative practices and the monitoring
of an international energy company’s commodity trading practices and compliance program pursuant
to a federal deferred prosecution agreement. He has also undertaken multiple civil litigations,
criminal appellate, administrative law and bankruptcy-related matters. These matters have involved
a range of issues involving contracts, product liability and negligence, competitive intelligence,
securities and energy trading regulations, compliance, construction, labor and criminal issues.

Mr. Walsh served as an Assistant Deputy Attorney General with the New York State
Attorney General’s Organized Crime Task Force (“OCTF”) from 1999 through 2005. He conducted
large scale investigations involving labor racketeering and La Cosa Nostra. Significant
accomplishments included two multi-year investigations and the resulting prosecutions and
convictions. One investigation led to the prosecution of certain officials from the Plumbers and
Steamfitters Unions, and the implementation of an independent private sector inspector general
agreement which Mr. Walsh drafted, negotiated and executed with the reform administration of the
Plumbers Union. In the other matter, working with the New York City Police Department’s
Organized Crime Investigation Division, and the United States Department of Labor, he conducted
and supervised an extended wiretapping investigation, leading to the prosecutions of numerous
mafiosi and officials of the International Union of Operating Engineers in New York. He also
worked in close cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Mr. Walsh was designated as a Special Assistant United States Attorney in both the Southern
and Eastern Districts of New York in the two RICO cases that prosecuted the criminal conduct
revealed by the OCTF and federal investigation of mafiosi and the Operating Engineers - including
extortion, mail fraud, bribery, kickbacks and no-show jobs at numerous public construction sites in
New York City.

In recognition of his work in these matters, Mr. Walsh was given the Louis J. Lefkowitz
Memorial Award by the New York Attorney General in 2003.

Among his other cases at OCTF, Mr. Walsh prosecuted public corruption. An outgrowth of
his investigation of the Plumbers Union, in which he was assisted by the New York City Department
of Investigation, revealed bribery schemes involving officials at the New York City Department of
Environmental Protection and a plumbing contractor and led to criminal convictions and the
establishment of a prevailing wage trust for aggrieved workers. Further, he successfully prosecuted
a China-based trademark counterfeiting ring trafficking in cigarettes, sports team apparel and
designer bags.
 Mr. Walsh is a 1991 graduate of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he served
as the Business Editor of the Cardozo Law Review. He then joined Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander
& Ferdon as a litigator, where, in addition to his regular duties in state and federal cases, he assisted
former federal judge Kenneth Conboy in his role as the Investigations and Review Officer (“IRO”)
monitoring the New York District Council of Carpenters pursuant to the Consent Decree entered in
the Southern District of New York in United States v. District Council, et al. He moved with Mr.
Conboy and other Mudge Rose litigators to Latham & Watkins in 1995.

Through 1998, Mr. Walsh was the principal drafter of nine semi-annual reports submitted
by the IRO to the District Court regarding the IRO’s tenure and made appearances on the IRO’s
behalf in the District Court. He interviewed and interfaced with Union members, officials, and
contractors, ran union elections, attended local union meetings, reviewed records, prosecuted
disciplinary charges against Union members and worked with law enforcement agencies to enforce
the Consent Decree. He became thoroughly familiar with legitimate and corrupt activity within the
Union, at construction sites, and at exposition venues, and with the illegal practices engaged in by
certain construction contractors, and the role of La Cosa Nostra in labor rackets.

In other areas, Mr. Walsh assisted Mr. Conboy in his role as ombudsman of a securities firm
pursuant to a federal deferred prosecution agreement, analyzing trading records, interviewing brokers
and writing segments of reports for the United States Attorney. He conducted an extensive multi-
city investigation of Medicare billing practices on behalf of a national hospital corporation and also
worked on matters involving complex construction, corporate, environmental, antitrust, health care,
labor, bankruptcy, contract, tort, RICO, and discovery disputes.

Mr. Walsh has lectured on labor racketeering, speaking at the Long Island Organized Crime
Information Sharing Conference hosted by MAGLOCLEN and the Suffolk County District
Attorney’s office in November 2004.

Mr. Walsh started his career in the 1980s at a New York-based international investigative
consulting firm, where among other matters he investigated aspects of insider trading conspiracies.
In 1998, he was retained in a matter as a special litigation consultant by another large investigative
firm.

Mr. Walsh is a member of the Federal Bar Council and the New York State Bar
Association. He is admitted to practice in the courts of the State of New York and in the district
courts of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
