Monica A. Svetoslavov Counsel

Washington, D.C.

Monica is a seasoned litigator who brings a unique blend of government and private sector experience to complex litigation. She is particularly adept at working with expert witnesses across a wide spectrum of disputes—including products liability, mass torts, commercial issues, trade secrets, antitrust, False Claims Act, and cybersecurity—translating sophisticated technical and economic opinions into compelling narratives for juries.

Monica served as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Security Division, where she led criminal investigations and prosecutions involving trade secret theft and export control violations. Her government experience gives her a deep understanding of regulatory enforcement and national security concerns, which she leverages in high-stakes litigation.

Monica’s ability to collaborate with experts is rooted in her early career, where she worked in macroeconomic forecasting at the Federal Reserve and later supported testifying economists in litigation. This foundation enables her to bridge the gap between technical complexity and courtroom clarity, making her a valuable asset in cases where expert testimony is central.

She is known for her strategic insight, precision in trial preparation, and ability to distill complex issues into persuasive arguments—skills that make her a trusted advisor to clients navigating multifaceted disputes.
