Melissa Giangrande focuses her practice on complex government and internal investigations. She began her Hogan Lovells career as a summer associate in 2019.
Her experience includes representing clients in matters related to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Senate Finance Committee, and various state attorneys general.
Melissa also maintains an active pro bono practice that includes regularly appearing in court on behalf of survivors of violent crimes and children caught in contentious custody battles. Highlighting injustices plaguing the criminal justice system, she has also co-authored numerous amicus curiae briefs in federal appellate courts and the United States Supreme Court.
