Both lawyers divide their time between Washington DC and Chicago. Other key lawyers include Brigham Cannon in DC, who is experienced in matters relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, securities laws, and the False Claims Act; Nicolas Thompson, based in both DC and Houston, who is skilled in the healthcare, energy, and finance sectors; Jeremy Dresner, also in DC, who focuses on government and internal investigations, regulatory counseling and crisis management assistance; and white-collar specialist Bob Allen in New York.
