Senior team
Attorneys
Two partners and eight senior attorneys with experience in federal prosecution, Treasury, financial regulation, congressional oversight, cyber investigations, transactions and international trade.
Senior-led from Washington, D.C. Matters are staffed around the legal issue, operating facts and government forums involved.
Senior-led by design
Distinct experience, one coordinated standard.
The firm’s lawyers do not operate as disconnected names on a list. Each brings a defined area of judgment, and each matter has a senior lead responsible for decisions, evidence and communication.
The expanded team now includes litigation, corporate, cybersecurity and international-trade lawyers alongside the established terrorism-finance, sanctions, compliance, enforcement and government-affairs practice. That range matters because high-consequence legal problems often cross from one discipline into another before the client has time to reorganize its advisers.
Biographical information is detailed on each individual profile. The profiles explain working approach, focus areas, representative issue types and credentials. Individual telephone numbers are intentionally not published; all prospective engagements begin with a central conflicts and urgency review.

Detailed biographyHow teams are assembled
One senior lead. The right supporting disciplines.
Staffing begins with the legal decision and factual record—not an org chart.
A material-support investigation may require financial records, sanctions history, international evidence and litigation strategy. A fintech transaction may need corporate, regulatory, cyber and AML/CFT review. A cyber incident may create workforce, privacy, sanctions and law-enforcement questions. The responsible partner identifies those dependencies early and establishes clear roles.
Outside forensic specialists and qualified local counsel are used when their contribution is necessary. Their questions, reporting lines and work product are integrated into the legal plan. The client receives a consolidated view of exposure and next decisions.
