Nathan H. Seltzer

Position
Nathan Seltzer, former Global Vice Chair of the firm’s White Collar Defense & Investigations Practice, is a US lawyer based in London who advises individuals and leading corporations on internal and government investigations.
Drawing on nearly two decades of experience, he helps clients successfully navigate a range of investigations, with a focus on cross-border matters. A member of the firm’s London office, Nathan is uniquely positioned to advise multinational corporations on investigations with US law implications.
Nathan’s work includes internal investigations, civil and criminal government investigations, and complex litigation involving a variety of highly regulated industries, such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, and defense.
He brings particular experience in complex accounting and corruption cases, including matters involving the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other regulators worldwide. He also frequently designs practical corporate compliance programs, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance programs, and provides real-time compliance counsel.
