NEW YORK – The New York Law Journal will honor Bracewell LLP’s Seth D. DuCharme as a Distinguished Leader at the 2025 New York Legal Awards, which will be held in New York City on September 5. DuCharme is among an elite group of 18 lawyers in leadership roles whose accomplishments over the past year have significantly influenced New York’s legal community.
DuCharme, who leads Bracewell’s national government enforcement and investigations practice, has played a central role in growing the practice since joining Bracewell in 2021. Highly regarded for representing corporate and individual clients in complex government investigations, he draws on his experience as the former Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General and Acting US Attorney in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) to lead the practice.
Under Seth’s leadership, Bracewell’s government enforcement and investigations practice has thrived, attracting top talent and high-profile engagements.
Over the past two years, the team has welcomed seasoned professionals such as Nicole Boeckmann, former First Assistant US Attorney in the EDNY; Alamdar S. Hamdani, the former US Attorney in the Southern District of Texas; and the Hon. Roslynn R. Mauskopf, a retired district court judge and former director of the Administrative Office of the US Courts.
DuCharme’s matters have included representing one of the world’s largest crypto companies through parallel enforcement and regulatory investigations; guiding international and domestic companies and financial institutions through sanctions investigations; and several high-profile individual representations, such as the indictment of an ex-FBI official in the Southern District of New York, and a complex fraud, public corruption and Foreign Agents Registration Act-related matter in EDNY.
