Tony DiResta, Partner, Reed Smith

Anthony (Tony) E. DiResta's practice at Reed Smith focuses on complex commercial litigation (trial and appellate), governmental investigations and enforcement, white collar defense, and business counseling. While he has a breadth of experience in many substantive legal areas and in a wide range of industries, he specializes in trade and consumer regulation, antitrust and unfair competition, business torts, and contractual disputes.

Several years ago, Tony was appointed the Director of the Federal Trade Commission's Southeast Regional Office, where he supervised many of the enforcement, investigative, litigation, and outreach activities of the Competition and Consumer Protection Bureaus of the agency in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. Under his leadership, the Office received the John Marshall Award from the Attorney General of the United States for its enforcement achievements.
