In a strategic move to bolster its litigation capabilities, Foley & Lardner has welcomed a team of four attorneys from Carlton Fields to its Miami office. The firm announced that Vanessa Singh Johannes and Charles Throckmorton have joined as partners, while Samantha Goldstein and Holli Gray have come on board as associates. This latest hiring is part of Foley & Lardner’s effort to expand its presence and expertise in government enforcement defense and business litigation.
Vanessa Singh Johannes brings a wealth of experience to Foley’s government enforcement defense and investigations practice. Her expertise extends to civil and criminal litigation, where she represents companies involved in complex trials and government investigations. Johannes also aids firms by conducting internal investigations, responding to federal inquiries, and developing robust compliance programs. Her addition is expected to enhance Foley’s offerings in these critical areas of legal compliance and litigation.
Charles Throckmorton, on the other hand, strengthens Foley’s business litigation and dispute resolution practice. His track record includes representation in complex litigation across various industries. Notably, Throckmorton has handled cases involving cutting-edge technology sectors, including cryptocurrency and consumer technology, further propelling the firm’s capabilities in handling technologically nuanced legal disputes.
The inclusion of Samantha Goldstein and Holli Gray as associates exemplifies Foley’s commitment to nurturing young legal talent. Both are positioned to support the expanded workload these practices are expected to handle, as Foley positions itself at the forefront of legal services in an ever-evolving landscape.
