The international law firm Chadbourne & Parke LLP has added litigators M. Scott Peeler and Jeffrey Wasserman as partners in the New York office.
Mr. Peeler, 39, was formerly a partner at Arent Fox and Mr. Wasserman, 36, was most recently a partner at Bracewell & Giuliani, both in New York.
Mr. Peeler focuses his practice on white collar litigation and government investigations, including health care fraud and abuse, money laundering, securities and tax violations. He also regularly advises clients on compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws.
Mr. Wasserman returns to Chadbourne, where he previously served as an associate. He focuses his practice on complex commercial litigation, concentrating on cross-border disputes and other transactions.
According to the press release at the firm’s website, Chadbourne Managing Partner Charles K. O’Neill was quoted as saying: “We are very pleased to welcome Jeff back to Chadbourne. He and Scott bring a wealth of litigation experience and knowledge to the firm. More stringent enforcement of FCPA and other anti-corruption laws in the U.S. and in countries where we have offices make Scott’s addition to our FCPA team particularly timely.”
