Charles La Bella
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles La Bella is an American attorney and founding partner of La Bella & McNamara, LLP which specializes in civil litigation, internal corporate investigations, investigations and enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, corporate governance and compliance counseling, and white collar criminal defense.
Prior to co-founding La Bella & McNamara, La Bella worked for over 16 years as a federal prosecutor in the Southern Districts of New York and California, and Washington, D.C. La Bella also served as Senior Vice President and Special Counsel at Peregrine Systems, coordinating an internal investigation into accounting irregularities.[1]
U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno named La Bella to head up a task force looking at possible violations of federal campaign finance laws during the 1996 presidential election.
In July 1998, La Bella sent a report (known as the La Bella Memo) to Reno recommending she seek an independent counsel to investigate the alleged fund-raising abuses by Democratic party officials.[2] The media reported that LaBella believed there was clearly an appearance of a conflict of interest by Reno.[3]
La Bella graduated cum laude from Fordham University School of Law where he was a member of the Law Review.[1]
