Alec Luhring is an associate in the New York office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he is a member of the firm’s litigation department. His practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, white collar criminal defense, and government and internal investigations. Some of Alec’s recent and ongoing matters include the representation of: a hedge fund employee in a Department of Justice insider trading investigation, a former politician convicted of public corruption offenses in his appeal before the Second Circuit, and the special committee of the board of directors of a public company in an internal investigation. He also frequently provides clients with pre-litigation counseling regarding the evaluation of legal risks, contract claims, and dispute resolution.

Alec dedicates a significant portion of his time to representing pro bono clients, with a focus on the representation of indigent criminal defendants in federal court. Recently, he successfully argued a contested bail hearing in the Eastern District of New York, securing his client’s release over the government’s vehement objection.

Prior to joining the firm, Alec was an associate in the litigation department of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, where his practice focused on government investigations and complex, multi-forum litigation across the country.
