Former Pfizer Attorney Brings 25+ Years of Experience Leading High-Stakes Litigation
WASHINGTON – May 28, 2025 – Markus Green, a veteran attorney who spent nearly two decades at Pfizer managing global government investigations, high-stakes litigation, and government relations, has joined DiCello Levitt as a partner in the Public Client Practice Group in Washington, DC.
Green is known for his crisis management work with State Attorneys General across all 50 U.S. states. His background includes an eighteen-year tenure at Pfizer, where he served as a Vice President and Assistant General Counsel, and key roles within the New York County District Attorney’s Office and the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General. At DiCello Levitt, Green will focus on advising public sector clients, including State Attorneys General, in a wide variety of litigation, including consumer protection, health care, and civil rights litigation.
“Markus has an incredibly impressive and broad-based background encompassing government service, corporate counsel, and complex litigation,” said DiCello Levitt Founding Partner Adam Levitt. “We’re delighted to welcome him to the Firm, where he will enhance and further strengthen our nationally recognized Public Client Practice Group, by deepening our wide range of offerings to our public sector clients.”
“Markus’ specific expertise working with State Attorneys General in consumer protection matters and civil rights litigation complements our practice. We are excited to partner with him in our work on behalf of state and local governments,” said DiCello Levitt Partner Dan Ferri, Chair of the Firm’s Public Client Practice Group.
“Markus Green is a lawyer’s lawyer. He is a man of courage, compassion and integrity and he possesses an extraordinary insight into the unique practice of state attorneys general. He is skilled at the art of seeing others and making them feel seen, heard and understood. With Markus, genuine empathy, respect and kindness rule the day and his life proves that character is destiny. He is A Man for All Seasons and he is a shining example of a life well lived and a man well loved,” said Michael C. Turpen, former Attorney General of Oklahoma.
DiCello Levitt’s Public Client Practice Group assists state and local governments in recovering the public’s damages, penalizing corporate wrongdoing, and enjoining future harm. The practice, which includes several former government prosecutors, has partnered with numerous government attorneys and investigations in high-profile cases, including the PFAS water contamination litigation, climate change litigation, the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal, the Takata airbag litigation, the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, and the catastrophic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
“DiCello Levitt’s leadership in high-profile and high-impact matters, in particular its work with public sector clients to advance consumer protection and civil rights, appealed to me and aligns with my practice goals,” Green said. “I’m looking forward to plugging right into the team.”
