Experience

• Represented a global pharmaceutical company in DOJ and SEC investigations. We were also the head of the legal team that advised and coordinated the due diligence work on anti-corruption issues both before and after the conclusion of the company’s purchase of certain vaccine business units and the formation of a joint venture regarding health services, with a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company. As part of this due diligence program, we lead a multi-jurisdictional risk review with a focus on Latin America. 
• Conducted an internal investigation on behalf of a Fortune 500 company in the defense sector involving a longstanding foreign subsidiary of the company.  The investigation included working extensively with a major forensic accounting firm, reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents, and conducting numerous interviews of management, employees and third parties both in the U.S. and the foreign jurisdiction.  We worked closely with the company’s Legal Department and provided periodic reports to the General Counsel and the Board of Directors. 
• On behalf of a multinational food and beverage company, we conducted a multijurisdictional risk assessment to identify bribery and corruption related risks confronting the company and to assure the effectiveness of the company’s global, regional and local compliance policies, procedures, and practices.  As part of that effort, we reviewed the company’s global operations, including but not limited to sales and marketing, manufacturing, entering new markets, supply chain and logistics, interacting with government officials and regulatory agencies, and working with third parties.  
• Represented a Fortune 50 healthcare company, with pharmaceutical, medical device and consumer healthcare product lines, as compliance counsel in conjunction with its global anti-corruption compliance program, which included a comprehensive and detailed risk assessment of the company’s global operations, development of detailed enhancements to its compliance program tailored to its unique risks, interviewing the executive and management personnel responsible for oversight of global operations and compliance functions, and identifying areas of improvement.
