On December 18, 2024, Wilson Sonsini's Caz Hashemi was recognized in Daily Journal's special report "Top White Collar Lawyers 2024," an annual list honoring the top performing attorneys specializing in white-collar defense, for the fourth consecutive year.

The accompanying profile’s highlights include Caz’s work as an enforcement attorney with the SEC's division of enforcement, where he investigated potential violations of federal securities laws. "I recognized that joining the SEC would provide me with the chance to work on securities enforcement cases early in my career, including deposing witnesses and managing cases independently at a relatively young age," he said. "This exposure to the securities laws not only deepened my interest in the field, but also provided the foundational experience that has shaped my legal career."

Speaking on the changing legal landscape with the new administration, Caz notes, “Although certain politically charged areas may see a reduction in attention, I expect the government will remain vigilant in traditional areas. For white-collar defense practitioners, this period of transition presents a critical opportunity to reassess strategies and anticipate how the evolving regulatory landscape will impact our work in the coming years."
