PLG is pleased to welcome Michael Del Negro as a partner in our Consumer Product Safety and Regulatory practice groups in Washington, D.C.
Michael Del Negro is a senior regulatory, compliance, and investigations attorney who advises global companies on high-stakes government enforcement, product safety, and enterprise risk matters. With more than two decades of experience, he works closely with Fortune 100 and multinational organizations to navigate complex regulatory environments, design effective compliance programs, and align risk management strategies with business objectives. He is known for his practical, business-oriented approach and his ability to guide organizations through crisis situations while protecting enterprise value and reputation.
Michael has deep experience advising manufacturers and product-driven companies on regulatory and compliance matters across complex, highly regulated supply chains. He regularly engages with federal and state regulators, including the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), on issues impacting product safety, quality, and market access. He counsels clients on government investigations, regulatory strategy, crisis management, and compliance program development, with particular depth in consumer products and industrial manufacturing. His practice spans the full lifecycle of compliance and enforcement matters—from proactive program design and internal investigations to managing product safety risks, recalls, and government inquiries.
Prior to joining PLG, Michael served as Vice President, Head of Safety, Ethics & Compliance at Peloton Interactive, where he led a global compliance and risk program, oversaw internal investigations and whistleblower processes, and advised executive leadership and the Board on governance and regulatory matters. He also held senior legal and compliance roles at GE Appliances, a Haier company, and General Electric, where he led global product safety and regulatory compliance initiatives and managed complex government investigations.
Michael earned his J.D. with the University of Michigan Law School, M.S.W. from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, and his B.A. from the University of Michigan.
