Introducing a Legal Powerhouse in Harrisburg
In a significant move for the legal landscape of Central Pennsylvania, McNees Wallace & Nurick has welcomed former Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Cerutti to its White Collar Defense, Public Corruption & Investigations Group. With over 25 years of experience in federal prosecutorial work, Cerutti brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that strengthens the firm’s capabilities in tackling complex legal challenges. As versatile as he is seasoned, his ability to navigate high-pressure situations makes him an invaluable asset to the McNees team.
What This Means for Local Officials and Businesses
For public officials and business leaders in Pennsylvania, Cerutti’s addition signifies enhanced legal support in the face of potential regulatory and corruption investigations. His extensive background means that clients will receive seasoned advice on navigating the murky waters of legal scrutiny.

The Impact of Federal Experience on Local Law Practices
Federal experience is a significant advantage in state-level investigations as well.

This perspective will not only benefit McNees’ current clients but also those who face inquiries involving ethics committees and law enforcement agencies. Having someone with an insider's understanding of federal processes could very well change the game for how legal defense is approached in complex cases.
Building a Legacy of Accountability
The firm’s emphasis on accountability dovetails well with the growing public demand for transparency from institutions and officials. Cerutti's dual roles in policy development and oversight within the DOJ place him in a unique position to bolster this legacy. His approach to fostering accountability and ethical behavior among clients aligns with the firm’s long-standing commitment to uphold high standards of integrity in legal representation.
Future Opportunities for Pennsylvania
As more firms in the region adapt to the evolving legal landscape, having a seasoned professional like Cerutti on board raises expectations. It showcases a proactive stance toward handling incidents of corruption and the increasing complexity of regulatory matters. With McNees enhancing its capabilities, Pennsylvania can expect a ripple effect across businesses and government entities aimed at improving public trust and compliance.
What Clients Should Know About Cerutti’s Philosophy
At the heart of Cerutti's work lies a philosophy of collaboration and transparency. This human-centered approach is likely to resonate with both clients and the community. By prioritizing open communication and strategic planning, he helps clients understand the legal landscape and make informed decisions.
