On November 10, 2021, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati was named to the 2021 edition of the GIR 100, an annual guide to the world’s leading cross-border investigations practices published by Global Investigations Review. Based on extensive research, the publication selected 100 law firms and 12 investigations consultancies from around the world that handle sophisticated cross-border government-led and internal investigations and related settlement negotiations or prosecutions of corporates and individuals.

The accompanying profile notes that the firm has “added to its investigations practice over the past year by recruiting big-name lawyers in New York and London,” and references several FCPA-related matters handled by the firm, including its representation of a group of shareholders in Africo Resources Limited who sued for restitution in an FCPA investigation against Och-Ziff, representation of several large cybersecurity companies in various FCPA investigations being conducted by the DOJ and SEC, representation of a computer scientist at a Chinese university who faced a charge of wire fraud conspiracy, and representation of witnesses in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption involving the Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company PDVSA. The profile also highlights the practices of partners Caz Hashemi, Tarek Helou, Leo Cunningham, and Moe Fodeman, and mentions the recent hires of Jessica Lonergan and Mike Casey, as well as the return of Beth George.
