Kenneth F. McCallion has more than 40 years of experience in a wide range of legal practice areas. As a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, he prosecuted organized crime, white collar crime and labor racketeering cases. While in private practice, he has successfully litigated many complex civil litigation cases involving civil RICO, environmental justice, and the deprivation of civil and human rights. He is a graduate of Yale University and Fordham Law School. He is also an adjunct professor at Cardozo Law School and teaches in the political science department at Fairfield University.
Mr. McCallion represents the Ovaherero and Nama indigenous peoples of Namibia in their genocide case against the Federal Republic of Germany currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. He previously represented Native Alaskan corporations regarding their claims arising from the Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster, and he also represented the victims of the Bhopal, India gas disaster. In addition, he represented thousands of World War II victims of forced and slave labor in their successful settlement claims against the German government and German industries, as well as the Holocaust Claims against the French Banks.
Mr. McCallion was also lead counsel in the class action litigation brought on behalf of utility ratepayers against the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) relating to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. He also represented the families of victims of the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attack, as well as Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, in a federal civil RICO case involving wrongful imprisonment and other human rights violations against Viktor Yanukovich, the former President of Ukraine, and Paul Manafort, the former Trump Campaign Chairman. Information gathered by Mr. McCallion and his team regarding Paul Manafort’s money laundering and other racketeering activities helped trigger the federal investigation of Mr. Manafort by the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the Southern District of New York and, later, the Special Counsel’s Office.
Mr. McCallion is a regular contributor to USA Today, the New York Daily News and the Daily Beast, and has served as an expert and commentator on CNN, MSNBC and other news programs.
