Kristi Stahnke McGregor
Prior to founding Stahnke McGregor Law LLC, Ms. McGregor spent 15 years practicing law with one of the nation's largest plaintiffs' side financial fraud class action law firms. Based in New York and Florida, she represented investors in securities class actions and corporate governance actions involving publicly traded companies, corporate officers and directors, and public auditors. Some notable investor representations include victims of the Madoff Ponzi scheme, BP retirement fund participants in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, mutual fund investors defrauded when mutual funds permitted select investors to engage in late trading and market timing, and investors in the New York Stock Exchange challenging a proposed merger with the Deutsche Boerse. Ms. McGregor also represented the beneficiaries of two family trusts valued at $150 million in breach of fiduciary duty claims against trustees for failure to prudently invest the assets of the trusts.
After leaving the New York-based firm, Ms. McGregor joined an Atlanta-based complex litigation firm where she remained for six years before founding Stahnke McGregor Law LLC. During her time at the Atlanta firm, Ms. McGregor focused her practice on financial fraud litigation, discriminatory mortgage practices, consumer class actions, and representing whistleblowers reporting fraud on the government.
Ms. McGregor's experience in civil and human rights litigation includes a series of lawsuits against large national mortgage lenders for engaging in the practice of "reverse redlining" by targeting minority borrowers for higher cost nonprime loans, a lawsuit on behalf of the family of an American murdered abroad against a large multinational corporation for providing financial support to a terrorist organization in violation of the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act, representing Holocaust victims pro bono in claims to compenstaion funds relating to slave labor during WWII, and advising parents of children with disabilities on their rights in public school.
In addition to her U.S. law degree from Emory Unversity, Ms. McGregor holds a Masters of Law degree from the University of Muenster in Germany. She has particular expertise in litigating corporate fraud cases involving companies and witnesses from German-speaking countries.
Ms. McGregor's corporate fraud background provides her with the particular experience and knowledge necessary to investigate and prosecute corporate fraud cases, including representing whistleblowers in investigating and reporting fraud to the government under various whistleblower programs. Ms. McGregor is a member of the Tax Payers Against Fraud (TAF) Anti-Fraud Coalition of attorneys who represent whistleblowers.
