Tara Singh

PartnerBoston

Tara Singh is a white-collar criminal defense lawyer counseling individuals and businesses facing internal and government-initiated investigations, complex criminal litigation, and civil litigation. Tara routinely defends clients facing high-stakes scenarios that threaten reputations and careers.

Clients deeply trust Tara, seeking her guidance in matters involving the False Claims Act, Title IX, Anti-Kickback violations concerning off-label promotion, Medicare supervision, HIPAA violations, research misconduct allegations, and other high-profile matters involving state and federal privacy laws.

Known for big-picture, strategic thinking, Tara handles matters in federal and state courts, as well as proceedings before regulatory bodies. She purposefully employs her strong trial skills, developed defending civil litigation matters, to work for clients as she creates comprehensive defense strategies. Because she is so experienced in both civil and criminal litigation, Tara seamlessly handles parallel and related proceedings for clients.

With a deep understanding of the human impacts associated with high-pressure cases – such as white-collar, sexual misconduct, and Title IX – Tara always strives to minimize the negative reputational impacts for her clients while achieving the best possible outcome. As a matter of course, in any case, Tara thoroughly identifies both immediate concerns and the larger consequences related to the outcomes in these intense cases and crafts a plan to address every possible angle. Tara’s clients appreciate her personal touch, genuine empathy, and clear dedication to seeing them through some of the most difficult times in their lives.
