Adam Hollingsworth, a former federal prosecutor, represents companies and individuals in government investigations, criminal prosecutions, and cybersecurity matters. He has broad experience defending clients in significant matters and has guided clients through every stage of government investigations.

As an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA), he prosecuted investment and securities fraud, health care fraud, money laundering, bribery, public corruption, embezzlement, identity theft, criminal tax violations, immigration fraud, firearms, and narcotics cases.

Adam maintains an active pro bono practice, including assisting detained women seeking political asylum as part of Jones Day's Border Project; leading an Ohio team as part of Jones Day's Hate Crimes Task Force; co-leading a project investigating allegations of police misconduct in Minneapolis; and teaching 3Rs in Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) high schools.
