Paige Nutini is a former federal prosecutor and trial lawyer who spent more than 6 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, one of the most prestigious U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the country. She tried 9 federal jury cases to verdict, argued 2 appeals before the Seventh Circuit, and rose to deputy chief in the office’s General Crimes Section. She now brings that experience to white-collar criminal defense, government investigations, and high-stakes litigation at Litson.

As an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago, Paige led complex, multi-defendant investigations and prosecutions from the office’s Securities and Financial Fraud Section, including wire fraud, securities fraud, health care fraud, racketeering, insider trading, and money laundering. Her jury trials ranged from a 2-week cryptocurrency fraud case to a 7-week racketeering trial involving gang-related murder charges, with health care fraud, cyber-enabled fraud, money laundering, civil rights, and national security cases in between. She worked side by side with agencies including the FBI, IRS, and DEA, and with regulators including the SEC, FINRA, and the CFTC. As deputy chief, she supervised and trained other prosecutors on charging decisions, litigation strategy, and case management. She knows how the government evaluates, charges, and tries a case because she spent years doing exactly that.

Before joining the Department of Justice, Paige represented health care and pharmaceutical companies and their executives in civil, criminal, and regulatory enforcement matters at a nationally ranked Am Law 100 firm, including fraud and abuse and antitrust investigations. She also served as a law clerk to Judge William L. Campbell Jr., now chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
