Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough has announced the significant addition of Benjamin Britz, who joins the firm’s Washington, D.C. office as a partner. Known for his expertise in government and internal investigations, Britz represents clients in both domestic and international white-collar criminal matters. His practice involves handling enforcement inquiries before entities such as the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as various attorney general offices and multilateral development banks. This move marks Britz’s departure from Hughes Hubbard & Reed, bringing his seasoned litigatory skills to Nelson Mullins, as the firm seeks to bolster its white-collar practice.
The transition was publicly disclosed on Nelson Mullins’ website on Thursday. As firms increasingly seek to enhance their offerings in high-stakes litigation and compliance matters, Britz’s move represents a strategic effort by Nelson Mullins to strengthen its positioning in the highly competitive legal landscape.
