In a strategic move to bolster its capabilities in litigation and compliance, Snell & Wilmer has appointed Sam Crockett Neel as a partner within its special litigation and compliance practice group based in Washington, D.C. Neel joins from McDermott Will & Emery, where he honed his expertise in defending both corporate and individual clients across various legal arenas.
Neel’s extensive practice covers a spectrum of critical areas, including civil, criminal, and administrative enforcement matters. He also brings a wealth of experience in handling congressional and internal investigations, corporate compliance matters, and intricate government contracts. His advisory capacity extends to nuanced areas such as campaign finance, lobbying activities, pay-to-play regulations, and compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Snell & Wilmer’s decision to bring Neel on board underscores the firm’s commitment to enhancing its legal prowess in complex litigation and compliance matters, a move likely to resonate with its diverse clientele base seeking robust representation in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
