GrayRobinson Welcomes Former U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg to Litigation Practice

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GrayRobinson is pleased to announce former U.S. Attorney and Harvard-trained litigator Roger B. Handberg has joined the firm as shareholder in its Litigation practice. Based in the Orlando office, Handberg brings over two decades of proven frontline executional strength to GrayRobinson’s high-stakes white-collar defense, government investigations, and complex litigation practice.

“We are tremendously excited to welcome Roger Handberg to GrayRobinson,” said GrayRobinson President and CEO Dean Cannon. “Roger’s experience as a former U.S. Attorney, serving one of the country’s most active federal districts, brings an unparalleled depth to our litigation practice. His insights from the DOJ and strength in defense work enhance our ability to guide clients through today’s toughest legal and regulatory challenges.”

Handberg’s practice is defined by his strategic, results-driven approach to multifaceted enforcement and litigation matters. He represents corporations, financial institutions, boards, and senior executives facing government investigations, enforcement actions, and high-stakes allegations involving financing crime, public corruption, and regulatory risk. Nationally recognized for his prosecutorial precision and courtroom credibility, Handberg advises clients navigating parallel civil, criminal, and reputational threats, drawing on his extensive trial experience and understanding of DOJ charging strategies, investigative priorities, and trial tactics to deliver proactive, protective solutions.

“Joining GrayRobinson is a meaningful next chapter in my career,” said Handberg. “Throughout my time in public service, I’ve focused on navigating complex legal challenges with utmost precision, judgment, and integrity. What drew me to GrayRobinson is its identity as a true Florida firm—with deep roots across the state and strong connections in Washington, D.C. I’m excited to bring my experience to a team known for its depth, responsiveness, and unwavering commitment to helping clients manage risk and act decisively when it matters most.”

Handberg earned his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School and his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Handberg is licensed to practice in Florida and Georgia. Prior to serving as U.S. Attorney, he held senior positions within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Florida Attorney General’s Office, including criminal chief, chief of the Orlando division, senior litigation counsel, and senior assistant attorney general. As a former federal prosecutor, he also brings extensive experience in white-collar and public corruption matters, including the successful prosecution of more than $500 million in fraud cases. This deep institutional knowledge shapes his pragmatic, proactive approach to client defense and crisis management.
