Scott F. Mascianica, a government enforcement and investigations partner, has joined Bradley in Dallas from Hilgers PLLC. He will focus on government enforcement proceedings, internal investigations and related litigation involving securities, regulatory and white-collar matters, according to a news release.
Before joining Bradley, Mascianica led the Government Enforcement & Investigation practice at Hilgers. With more than 20 years of experience, he has advised companies, boards, audit committees, auditors, regulated entities and individuals in complex enforcement proceedings and interval investigations. Earlier in his career, Mascianica served as an assistant director in the Division of Enforcement at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where he supervised more than 150 confidential investigations. He also served as a special assistant U.S. attorney for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, prosecuting securities-related misconduct.
“Scott has a reputation as one of the top government enforcement attorneys in the country and is a go-to resource for navigating high stakes enforcement matters,” said Bradley Dallas Office Managing Partner John A. Bonnet III. “His regulatory background and SEC experience enhance the firm’s ability to defend business in complex matters and investigations and support the strategic growth of our presence in Texas.”
Bradley is included in the Texas Lawbook 50 for lawyer headcount. The firm ranked No. 33 in 2024 and increased its Texas lawyer count by 11.6 percent to 106. Those lawyers generated $81.1 million dollars in revenue that year, an increase of 25 percent.
