Having managed and directed investigations regarding white collar crime matters, including securities fraud, employee embezzlement, commercial bribery, and mail fraud in both the public and private sectors, Tom brings a wealth of experience to the firm. He has interviewed witnesses around the world and appeared as an expert witness in a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act matter tied to the landmark Brazilian anti-corruption probe known as Operação Lava Jato. He has managed and field-supervised numerous surveillance matters, including a month-long multi-state mobile surveillance. Before joining Nardello & Co., he worked for an international law firm, where he led and participated in numerous investigations involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, bribery, fraud, and embezzlement. Prior to that, he served as a US postal inspector in New York for a decade and was case agent for several notable securities fraud investigations.
For the past four years, Chambers and Partners has awarded him a Band 1 ranking, their highest level of recognition, in the Litigation Support Guide for Business Intelligence & Investigations (USA). Clients have called him “superb on all levels,” someone “who can be trusted with the most sensitive matters,” “one of the best investigators with whom [they] have ever worked,” and “the master of surveillance.” Another source comments: “Thomas Feeney writes like a poet and performs like a warrior.”
