Muyskens’s work is often at the center of matters that attract national attention, with cases featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Among his notable representations, he co-led the defense team that secured the first-ever acquittal of a commodities trader in a federal “spoofing” trial and has represented some of the world’s largest airlines in efforts to combat sophisticated fraud schemes and protect consumers. He also advises and defends high-profile individuals, including C-suite executives, senior government officials, professional athletes, and Grammy- and Oscar-winning performers. While many of his matters have garnered significant media attention, some of his most meaningful successes have been achieved quietly—resolving investigations and disputes before they become public.
In addition to his white collar practice, Muyskens has served as trial counsel in numerous civil matters across the country, including antitrust and trademark litigation. Prior to joining Seyfarth, Muyskens served as the Global Chair of the White Collar and Investigations Practice at another large international law firm. Before entering private practice, he held a distinguished career in public service, representing the United States in a wide range of significant matters. His government experience includes prosecuting high-level public corruption cases and antitrust offenses, as well as serving as Counsel to Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Dole. This combination of courtroom experience, government service, and strategic counsel enables Muyskens to provide clients with practical, sophisticated guidance in their most critical legal matters.
