Leadership in Corporate and Government Investigations by Carlos Lopez
Carlos A. Lopez, who resides in Dallas, Texas, is a leader in high-stakes corporate and government investigations. As an experienced corporate in-house counsel, former federal prosecutor, and financial services regulator Carlos has built his career, of over 20 years, defined by accountability, integrity, and strategic risk management. His prosecutorial and financial regulatory roots along with his corporate oversight roles have shaped his ability to conduct and manage legally compliant corporate and government investigations.
Carlos’s professional foundation is anchored in thorough legal training and early exposure to judicial decision-making as a former federal law clerk. His transition from private practice as a commercial litigator into public service was a defining phase of his career. He worked as a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts and with the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice. As a federal prosecutor, Carlos led multi-jurisdictional investigations involving money laundering, mail fraud, mortgage fraud, wire fraud, health care fraud, and other financial crimes. Carlos also managed multidisciplinary teams and presented cases before trial courts, developing a reputation for systematic case strategy and disciplined fact-based analysis.
Carlos later expanded his impact as Senior Regional Enforcement Counsel at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). There, he oversaw investigations into broker-dealer conduct and securities supervision. This regulatory vantage point helped him hone his understanding on how compliance structures succeed or fail under scrutiny. Most recently, Carlos served as Senior Counsel and Head of Corporate & Government investigations for the Americas at Ericsson, a multinational publicly traded telecommunications company. At Ericsson, Carlos operated at the intersection of law, ethics, and corporate governance. Carlos's influence lies in resolving misconduct and designing investigation structures that anticipate emerging regulatory risks in a data-driven and cross-border business environment.
