US: Acting US Attorney for New York returns to Crowell & Moring

Crowell & Moring announced that Kelly T. Currie, former Acting US Attorney and Chief Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York has returned to their New York office as a partner in the firm’s internationally-recognized White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group.

Currie’s recent high-profile positions have allowed him to work side-by-side with top leaders at the Department of Justice and other U.S. Attorneys across the country, as exemplified by his oversight of the multi-agency global investigation and indictment of high-ranking FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) officials and sports marketing executives on corruption charges.

Currie’s practice will encompass a wide range of criminal, regulatory, and civil litigation matters, as well as governmental and internal investigations. Given his extensive high-level government prosecutorial experience, Currie will also be in a unique position to advise Boards of Directors and assist corporations in implementing compliance programs, as well as other remedial measures following government enforcement action.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kelly back to our partnership after his very successful and dedicated service at the Department of Justice. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York is a key prosecuting office in the country for white collar crime, and Kelly has successfully led that office, including its 175 prosecutors and other professional staff. Kelly’s skill and talent as both a prosecutor and defense lawyer have earned him an exemplary reputation with judges, state and federal prosecutors, and the defense bar. His return to Crowell & Moring is a significant addition to our New York office, and the firm as a whole, and will further bolster our already extensive experience on high-profile, high-stakes matters. Kelly personifies excellence, and we are really proud to welcome him back to our team,” said Tom Hanusik, chair of Crowell & Moring’s White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group.
