"These lawyers are a great addition for our clients who increasingly need the benefit of experienced judgment to address global investigations, enforcement actions and related civil claims."
Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its market-leading white collar and litigation capabilities with the addition of partner Kenneth Caruso in New York and a seven-lawyer team, including partners Michel Beaussier and Isabelle Fenayrou-Degas, from the French specialist white collar firm Beaussier & Associés in Paris.
"We are delighted to welcome Ken, Michel and Isabelle, as well as the entire Beaussier & Associés team," said George Terwilliger, head of White & Case's Global White Collar Practice and former Deputy Attorney General of the United States. "These lawyers are a great addition for our clients who increasingly need the benefit of experienced judgment to address global investigations, enforcement actions and related civil claims."
Caruso joins White & Case from Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, where he was a partner in the firm's litigation and international business practice in New York. He has more than 30 years of private and public legal experience, including serving as Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Caruso's practice focuses on civil and criminal litigation and investigations involving international and transnational matters, primarily for financial institutions both in the United States and worldwide. He advises clients on internal corporate and cross-border asset recovery investigations relating to the proceeds of fraud, insolvency, money laundering and commercial bribery, and he has appeared in numerous international criminal matters and related civil litigation, including cases arising under the USA PATRIOT Act, US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the Alien Tort Statute, the Anti-Terrorism Act and federal export control laws.
Earlier in his career, Caruso served as Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Special Assistant to former Associate Attorney General Rudolph W. Giuliani and Deputy Associate Attorney General, a role in which he helped supervise and coordinate the US Justice Department's Criminal Division, US Attorneys, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Prisons and US Marshals Service.
In Paris, partners Michel Beaussier and Isabelle Fenayrou-Degas join White & Case and bring with them five additional lawyers comprising the white collar and litigation boutique Beaussier & Associés. With their arrival, the Paris dispute resolution team now stands at 10 partners, six counsel and more than 30 associates.
"Michel and Isabelle and their team command a high reputation in the French legal market as leading practitioners in the white collar, criminal law and contentious regulatory fields, advising leading French and international banks," said John Willems, head of White & Case's Disputes Practice in Western Europe, Middle East and Africa. "We could see immediately the parallels between their business and our own: we share many of the same clients and their arrival brings specialist expertise in this increasingly important area for multinational businesses."
Beaussier is a senior white collar lawyer, with more than 30 years' experience. He has a leading reputation in the French legal market for criminal and bank regulatory matters. He regularly teaches and speaks on white collar crime issues and banking law and has written extensively about the topic, including co-authoring the 2010 book Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing – Analysis and Practical Implementation of the Third Directive.
Fenayrou-Degas is a highly respected white collar lawyer who represents banks and corporations in criminal and regulatory proceedings. She has previously held posts as a high-level criminal magistrate, the Permanent Rapporteur to the Competition Council in France and head of the Regulations Office of the French Ministry of Justice.
