Arent Fox has addressed its white collar practice with the addition of four new partners. The move comes less than a week after the loss of three partners in the practice to Arnold & Porter.
The new partners are Terree Bowers and Mary Carter Andrues, who will reside in the firm’s Los Angeles office; Peter Unger, who joins the Washington D.C. office; and Andrew D. Kaizer, who heads to the New York City office. Andrues, Bowers and Unger all arrive from Howrey, which recently announced it would be cutting partners after a poor year financially.
Arent Fox Chairman Mark Katz called the additions “the first in a series of moves we will be making in this practice area.”
Bowers is a former U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California. He has over 30 years experience practicing in white collar defense, complex commercial and regulatory litigation.
Andrues is a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Central District of California under Bowers. Her practice focuses on white collar defense, internal corporate investigations, international and domestic regulatory compliance and enforcement and complex commercial litigation.
Unger is a former attorney in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. His practice includes representation of parties facing SEC investigations and litigations,
Kaizer’s practice centers on securities and commodities enforcement, investigations by federal, state and private-sector regulators and law enforcement officials both in the U.S. and abroad, internal investigations, hedge-fund and broker-dealer regulatory compliance and other areas.
Arent Fox has more than 350 lawyers nationwide with offices in Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and New York City.
