Eddie is a member of the firm’s White Collar + Government Investigations team. He focuses his practice on conducting high-stakes internal investigations and defending leading financial institutions facing regulatory scrutiny from government and industry regulators including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

On May 12, 2025, the Head of the Criminal Division (the Criminal Division or Division) at the Department of Justice (DOJ), Matthew R. Galeotti, issued key memoranda to Criminal Division personnel on the Division’s new priorities and policies for prosecuting corporate and white-collar crimes and for the imposition of monitorships. On the same day, the Criminal Division also issued a revised Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy and long-awaited updates to the Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program. As expected, the Criminal Division’s position is consistent with prior memoranda issued by U.S. Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi and the new Administration, which we previously discussed here.
