Vincent Russo represents clients in a wide range of business litigation, including disputes involving breach of corporate fiduciary duties, contracts, non-compete agreements, securities, real estate, fraud, and tortious interference with contract and business relations. Vincent also has over a decade of regulatory and policy experience, and his expertise in election law and campaign finance in Georgia is unmatched.
In addition to his business litigation practice, Vincent has been appointed as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia and regularly represents Georgia officials in voting rights and election litigation. He has also been tapped to represent the Governor and the Secretary of State of Georgia in matters before the Committee on Oversight and Reform in the U.S. House of Representatives, including inquiries by the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Prior to joining the Firm, Vincent was the General Counsel for the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, where he served as the chief legal counsel in the administrations of Brian Kemp and Karen Handel.
Vincent’s practice regularly involves issues at the intersection of law, politics, and public policy. He also has significant experience advising federal and state campaign committees, PACs, and other political organizations, including representing clients in investigations by the Federal Election Commission and the Georgia Government Transparency & Campaign Finance Commission. Vincent served as legal counsel to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s campaign committee in 2018. He is the General Counsel for the Georgia Republican Party and has represented the National Republican Congressional Committee in recent election cycles.
Vincent has represented and advised a diverse group of clients, including serving as counsel to businesses in various regulated industries. Vincent previously served as Georgia’s Assistant Commissioner of Securities, where he oversaw the state regulation of the securities industry in Georgia. He currently serves as legal counsel to the Invest Georgia program, the State of Georgia’s venture capital fund, and he has served as a court-appointed Special Master for real estate disputes in Fulton County, Georgia.
In January 2019, Vincent was appointed by Governor Kemp to serve as co-Chair of the Judicial Nominating Commission — a 25-member Commission created by Executive Order of the Governor to evaluate and recommend individuals for appointment to the bench. The Fulton County Daily Report selected Vincent as one of 14 attorneys to its “On the Rise” class for 2019, and James Magazine named him as one of Georgia’s Most Influential Attorneys in 2019 and 2020. Vincent has also been recognized by Georgia Super Lawyers as one of the top rated Business Litigation attorneys in Georgia for 2020 and 2021, and as a Georgia Super Lawyers “Rising Star” in Business Litigation in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Vincent is a graduate of Emory University School of Law, where he was the recipient of the James C. Pratt Memorial Award, selected to the Order of the Barristers, and served as the Director of the Emory Moot Court Society (2005-2006). Vincent earned undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science from Louisiana State University and was the recipient of the Chancellor’s Medal of Distinguished Service.
