Law360 recognized lead partner, Robert Luskin, as 2020 White-Collar MVP for his efforts in this matter.
Major pharmaceutical company in one of the highest-profile pharmaceutical and life sciences FCPA case before the DOJ and SEC.

This representation included liaising with the independent monitor team and advising the company on the general monitorship process, including continued interactions with the DOJ and SEC, as well as assisting the company in its efforts to enhance its anti-corruption compliance program and related internal controls.
Panasonic Avionics Corporation (PAC) as independent monitor and compliance consultant in connection with the company’s resolution of its FCPA matter with the U.S. government, which included a $137 million criminal penalty.

Rio Tinto in a high-profile suit filed by the SEC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

After a series of victories in this closely watched matter, including the 2nd Circuit’s favorable ruling on scheme liability, the firm secured a successful non-fraud settlement.
