Greenbaum partner Mary E. Toscano, Co-Chair of the firm’s Criminal Defense & Regulatory Compliance Practice Group, will be a panelist at the 2024 William H. Gindin Bankruptcy Bench Bar Conference, which will be held on Friday, May 3, 2024 at the Pines Manor in Edison. The all-day conference will be hosted by the Association of the Federal Bar of New Jersey (AFBNJ).

Ms. Toscano will participate in a morning plenary session on “Fraud in the Bankruptcy Courts.” Tackling fraud and crime in bankruptcy is everyone’s responsibility. The panel will address a number of related issues, including concealment of assets, attempts to wrongfully obtain unclaimed funds, screen-scraping to engage in wire fraud, and CARES Act and PPP grant fraud.

Hundreds of bankruptcy practitioners, judges, trustees and staff attend this annual conference, which features educational programs led by New Jersey bankruptcy judges and practitioners addressing the latest practice pointers, policy and rule changes, case law and more.  

Ms. Toscano focuses her practice on white collar criminal defense, internal corporate investigations and complex civil litigation. Her work encompasses the defense of clients in criminal investigations, RICO actions, contract and business disputes, and allegations of legal malpractice. She is experienced in all aspects of litigation, including internal investigations on behalf of financial institutions and other corporate entities, pre-trial motions and plea negotiations, and trial and post-trial proceedings, and has tried numerous cases to verdict.
