Ms. Alinikoff was hired as the firm’s first employee in 2011 as a junior associate.

Over the course of her career, Ms. Alinikoff has worked on many of the firm’s most prominent cases, handling white collar and securities enforcement defense, internal corporate investigations and complex civil litigation matters, including on behalf of: the bankruptcy trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc.; Special Committees of the Board of Xerox Corporation; Deutsche Bank trader Gavin Black in connection with the LIBOR-fixing investigation; ConvergEx officer Anthony Blumberg, among many other matters.

“Mimi’s contributions to the firm from its inception have been outstanding, and we are proud that she, like many Levine Lee alumni, is continuing in the firm’s tradition of public service,” said Ken Lee. “We will miss her professionally and personally, and I know she will serve the Southern District of Florida with great distinction,” said Seth Levine.
