Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prosecutor Nathaniel Edmonds has joined Paul Hastings in Washington, D.C.

Edmonds was an assistant chief of the Fraud Section, where he was one of the longest-tenured FCPA prosecutors.

“Within the FCPA bar, there are few practitioners with Nat’s combination of investigative experience, technical and legal expertise, and understanding of the international legal and regulatory environment,” said William Sullivan, chair of Paul Hastings litigation practice.

“Nat’s prosecutorial experience and connections to US government agencies will complement the diverse and extensive range of regulatory and enforcement experts in our DC office and across our global network,” said Barbara Brown, chair of Paul Hastings Washington, D.C. office. “We are looking forward to working with Nat to advise our clients on a range of compliance issues and how best to address the challenges facing companies operating internationally,” she added.

Edmonds is a 1995 graduate of Princeton University and a 2002 graduate of the University of Chicago Law School.
