Aaron Dyer

Aaron S. Dyer handles complex civil and criminal litigation, with a focus on internal investigations, IP litigation, and criminal and civil trial work. A member of Pillsbury’s Litigation practice, Aaron advises clients on securities, health care, the False Claims Act, and IP theft and piracy, as well as on corporate governance issues and the implementation of corporate compliance programs.

Aaron’s experience working with federal law enforcement agencies enables him to offer clients alternatives to purely traditional litigation, alternatives that have allowed clients to obtain relief that far exceeded what they could have obtained through the civil process.
