In a high-profile public-to-private sector move, Chuck Duross, former head of the DOJ’s FCPA Unit, will be joining Morrison & Foerster on February 17, 2014 as chair of the firm’s global anti-corruption group.  It’s long been a common practice for high-profile government attorneys to move to the other side of the table, defending companies in similar cases to the ones they prosecuted and, in some cases, defending companies accused of violating a law in an enforcement environment they helped shape.  But how valuable are these attorneys to law firms?  We gather various perspectives.  For insight from Duross on enforcement, see “Charles Duross and Kara Brockmeyer Discuss Five FCPA Enforcement Trends That Matter to Regulators: Individual Prosecutions, Administrative Proceedings, Global Coordination, Corporate Monitors and Third Parties (Part One of Two)” (Dec. 4, 2013); “Charles Duross and Kara Brockmeyer Discuss What Matters to FCPA Regulators When Negotiating FCPA Settlements (Part Two of Two)” (Dec. 18, 2013).
