Stacey MacKinnon

Stacey MacKinnon is an associate in DiCello Levitt’s New York office and a member of the firm’s electronically stored information (ESI) team. Stacey works with clients and partners to ensure that the firm responds appropriately and accurately to e-discovery requests, attending to any client concerns in that process. She analyzes and summarizes documents produced by defense counsel, gathering the best evidentiary support for her clients and using that evidence to prepare her fellow counsel for crucial depositions and interrogatory responses. Be it healthcare fraud, intellectual property rights, or environmental justice, Stacey’s keen eye for detail has uncovered case-deciding evidence that malevolent actors would have preferred to remain hidden.

A champion of data privacy, Stacey leverages her wealth of experience handling the most sensitive information to develop workflows and best practices that safeguard privileged or otherwise protected information. She has applied this knowledge in her roles leading several multilingual e-discovery teams to ensure adherence to U.S. and international data privacy laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Prior to joining DiCello Levitt, Stacey spent fifteen years honing her ESI skills. Working for a Fortune 500 company, she helped discover a scheme to defraud the federal government and the Environmental Protection Agency. Stacey investigated failure-to-warn claims against pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as misappropriation of intellectual property in the software industry, protecting the rights of inventors and innovators. During an assignment with a team of specialists in Switzerland, she uncovered a well-disguised, multimillion-dollar shell company scheme that would have threatened the client bank’s very existence.

Stacey is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Florida and studied French at L’Institut Catholique de Paris. She is also proficient in German.
