BuckleySandler has made four hires to its national criminal & civil enforcement practice at its Washington D.C. office, the firm said in a press release Wednesday.
Joining the firm from Mayer Brown is partner James T. Parkinson; counsel Adam Miller and associate Lauren R. Randell. Also joining the practice group as counsel is Joseph J. Reilly, who previously served as special counsel at Sullivan & Cromwell’s Washington D.C. office.
The additions from Mayer Brown comes a month after BuckleySandler raided Mayer Brown for a three-person team of litigators that included David S. Krakoff, the former co-chair of Mayer Brown’s white collar litigation practice.
Firm Co-Chair Andrew L. Sandler explained the moves in a press release.
“We have made strategic decisions to bring in top-notch White Collar lawyers to assist our clients nationally as they tackle the challenges arising from increased scrutiny and an ever-changing regulatory and enforcement environment,” Sandler said. “Jamie, Joe, Adam and Laurie are terrific additions and further strengthen our team of experienced White Collar defense attorneys.”
BuckleySandler’s Criminal & Civil Enforcement practice represents leading financial services companies and other major corporations, as well as their officers and directors, in a variety of civil and criminal state and federal enforcement matters in cases involving civil enforcement of fair lending and unfair and deceptive trade practices, mortgage fraud, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, mail and wire fraud and environmental crimes.
BuckleySandler has more than 100 lawyers in Washington D.C., Los Angeles and New York.
