Law360 Pulse highlighted Bracewell’s continued expansion of its government enforcement and investigations capabilities with the addition of Jason Richman, former Co-Chief of the National Security and International Narcotics Unit at the Southern District of New York. Richman brings more than a decade of federal prosecutorial experience, including overseeing investigations involving terrorism, international narcotics trafficking, sanctions evasion, export controls and money laundering.
Richman told Law360 Pulse that Bracewell stood out as he considered his return to private practice.
“I realized it was a really special, unique law firm opportunity, and the timing sort of aligned between me thinking, ‘OK, it’s probably time for something new,’ and me realizing Bracewell is a pretty special place for me to take that new step.”
Richman said his experience will particularly benefit clients as national security concerns increasingly intersect with corporate enforcement.
“I think where I really will be able to specialize and add value will be at the intersection of national security and white-collar enforcement.
