On December 1, 2021, the Daily Journal honored Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati partner Caz Hashemi among other legal industry leaders in its annual "Top White Collar Lawyers" special report.

The profile provides insight into Caz's expertise representing public companies and individuals in complex investigations and litigation matters, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act-related violations, and notes how his experience as a former SEC enforcement attorney informs his practice and ability to chair the firm's litigation department. "I help shape the strategic vision of the department and how we're trying to grow," he says. Caz notes that he is working to increase the number of partners by 20 to 25 percent toward the firm's "strategic initiative to increase our bet-the-company kind of litigation."

The feature also mentions Caz's leading role in notable investigations, including representing a former Walgreens CFO when the SEC began investigating the company over allegations of misleading investors during its merger with European pharmacy giant Alliance Boots. While Walgreens paid a $34.5 million penalty, Caz's client reached a $160,000 settlement that excluded fraud allegations. Other clients are highlighted in the profile, including App Annie, NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec), and Polycom.
