In a strategic move, Winston & Strawn LLP has announced the recruitment of Damien Diggs, the former US Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, as a partner. Diggs will join the firm’s litigation department, with a focus on government investigations, enforcement, and compliance, operating from the firm’s Dallas office. This addition is poised to strengthen the firm’s capabilities in handling complex legal frameworks.
As a partner, Diggs will concentrate on a variety of critical areas including cases relating to the False Claims Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989. Additionally, he will engage with international matters particularly involving Central and South America. The firm believes that Diggs’ extensive legal background and experience will enhance its practice and help navigate the intricacies of compliance and enforcement successfully.
The announcement was made Tuesday, marking a significant lateral hire for Winston & Strawn as it bolsters its talent pool with proven experience in government-related legal issues. Diggs’ legal acumen is expected to be an asset to the firm’s clients who seek advices in navigating regulatory requirements and mitigating risks in both domestic and international arenas.
