Prior to joining Lydecker, Mr. Mirarchi represented companies across industries in putative class actions arising from data privacy and cybersecurity incidents. He worked alongside business partners, incident response counsel, cyber insurance claim professionals, forensic investigators, and law enforcement to address pending litigation and state and federal regulatory inquiries.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Mirarchi represented domestic and foreign shareholders in several securities fraud class actions and derivative lawsuits.

Mr. Mirarchi also served as one of the lead counsel in In re Parmalat Securities Litigation (SDNY), often referred to as the “Enron of Europe” due to the scale of the fraud, resulting in a substantial recovery for shareholders.

Mr. Mirarchi focuses on identifying issues that drive a case, assessing potential exposure early, developing tailored fact and expert discovery, and pursuing a strategy that meets his client’s needs. He works closely with claim professionals, in-house counsel, risk managers, and business leaders before a case is filed and through every phase of a lawsuit, providing guidance and clear communication so his clients can make informed decisions about litigation strategy, potential resolution, and, when necessary, trial.

He is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as well as the United States District Courts for the Eastern District and Middle District of Pennsylvania.
