Joseph W. Email & Phone Number

I’m a Partner in the Washington, D.C., office, and the leader of Orrick's White Collar & Corporate Investigations practice group. I focus on investigations regarding fraud, corruption and securities issues. I’m a former Department of Justice Criminal Division, Fraud Section, attorney where I was a primary FCPA prosecutor.I represent companies and executives in FCPA internal investigations, enforcement actions, compliance and defense matters before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the UK’s Serious Fraud Office and similar authorities. While at DOJ, I was a member of several task forces, including the Securities Fraud Task Force and DOJ’s Task Force into corruption allegations relating to the awarding of the Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City. I also acted as lead prosecutor on several high-profile matters, such as the first-ever joint FCPA enforcement action between the SEC and the DOJ against KPMG and Baker Hughes (which is now the template for FCPA enforcement); an insider trading matter against the former CFO of a waste removal company; and a tax fraud prosecution involving an executive of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
