Steve Fagell co-chairs the firm’s white collar defense and investigations practice, and he is widely recognized as one of the nation's leading white collar practitioners.

As a former senior official in the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, Steve represents multinational companies and senior executives in criminal and civil investigations by the Justice Department, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and other U.S. regulators.

Steve is a two-time Law360 "White Collar MVP" winner (in 2023 and 2020), an award that recognizes the most outstanding practitioners in the field each year nationwide. Law360 has highlighted the “big wins,” which include five corporate declinations from DOJ or the SEC in a single year, and “impressive, relatively painless resolutions” that Steve has obtained for “prominent corporate clients." Chambers USA has long ranked him as a leading white collar lawyer in Washington, DC and as a nationwide FCPA expert. Clients have described Steve in Chambers as "the ultimate regulator whisperer," adding that he is "extremely practical and a phenomenal problem solver on some of the thorniest legal issues you can imagine," "extremely good," and "one of the smartest guys around" who "doesn't miss a beat.” Earlier in his career, Global Investigations Review recognized Steve as the top investigations practitioner (45 and under) in the United States, noting that he has an “eminent name for both corporations and individuals on matters of high-stakes civil and criminal enforcement."
