Jackson Walker is pleased to welcome Joe Magliolo as a partner in the Trial & Appellate Litigation practice of the Dallas office. Joining the Investigations & White Collar team, Joe brings distinguished experience as a former Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, handling cases and investigations involving cybercrime, export-control, and national security issues.
While at the Northern District of Texas, Joe was the Lead Computer Hacking and IP (CHIP) Attorney and prosecuted numerous high-profile cases involving violations of U.S. economic sanctions laws, cybercrime and dark-web-based crime, terrorism, wire and mail fraud, and money-laundering offenses. In addition, he held TS/SCI clearances, developed crisis-response plans for the district, and was named among a select number of AUSAs nationwide to serve on the Department of Justice’s Disruptive Technology Strike Force.
“We are really excited to have Joe join the firm and grow our Investigations & White Collar team,” said Litigation Practice Chair W. Ross Forbes. “His proven track record as a prosecutor will be invaluable to our clients facing white-collar defense challenges.”

Prior to his time as a federal prosecutor, Joe clerked for The Honorable Leslie H. Southwick of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and practiced litigation at two prominent law firms.

Joe received his B.B.A. from Texas A&M University and his J.D. from The University of Texas School of Law.
