Arnold & Porter has added former Department of Justice prosecutor Kirk Ogrosky to its white collar criminal defense and FDA/ healthcare practices. Ogrosky previously served as the DOJ’s deputy chief of the fraud section from 2006 to 2010.
The move by Arnold & Porter follows the addition of three partners from Arent Fox to its white collar defense practice last week.
“This is a challenging time for our clients in the healthcare sector,” Arnold & Porter Chair Thomas Milch said in a press release. “”As regulation and enforcement activities continue to intensify, we want to be in the best position possible to assist them in achieving their business goals.”
Ogrosky spent more than a decade in government service, including a stint as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Miami from 1999 to 2004 and as assistant attorney general in Kentucky from 1996 to 1998. Whit at the DOJ, Ogrosky handled cases involving pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, hospitals, managed care organizations, pharmacies and home health agencies.
He took 36 defendants through trial to jury verdict in criminal cases, according to the release.
Arnold & Porter now has more than 40 lawyers practicing in its FDA and healthcare group. Overall, Arnold & Porter has more than 675 lawyers with offices in Brussels, Denver, New York, NorthernVirginia, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
