Law firm McDermott Will & Emery LLP has strategically expanded its team, bringing on board a seven-partner team from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. The new team will specifically concentrate on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the False Claims Act, thereby enhancing McDermott’s white-collar and government investigation expertise.
The move appears to be a part of McDermott’s larger plan to grow its white-collar crime and government investigation capabilities, with a focus on the FCPA and the False Claims Act – two significant sectors in legal practice for multinational corporations and large organizations. Historically, cases involving these areas have often led to high-profile government investigations and consequential litigation.
The seven-member team from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP comprises seasoned lawyers with a robust portfolio in dealing with FCPA and False Claims Act matters. Their cumulative experience undoubtedly equips McDermott with a major advantage in effectively servicing clients faced with complex white-collar crime issues and government investigations.
