Former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Criminal Division Brent Wible joins White & Case as a Partner in Washington, DC

Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global White Collar Practice with the addition of Brent Wible as a partner in Washington, DC.

"Brent's proven record as a senior leader at the US Department of Justice (DOJ) will continue to strengthen our White Collar Practice and further enhance our disputes offerings across the US," said White & Case Chair, Heather McDevitt. "His perspective as a federal prosecutor and the leadership roles he has held in the Criminal Division will provide our clients with valuable insight on white collar and corporate enforcement matters, in a rapidly evolving enforcement environment."

Serving as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division at the DOJ, Wible led the Division and managed the work of more than 1,500 attorneys and staff across 16 sections and offices. He shaped white collar and corporate enforcement policies and priorities and oversaw many of the department's most significant white collar prosecutions and corporate resolutions, including all of its resolutions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and its most significant Bank Secrecy Act and sanctions resolutions.

Over the last four years, Wible has also served as Chief Counselor in the Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Chief of the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section, Co-Principal Deputy Chief of the Fraud Section and an Assistant Chief in the FCPA Unit. Prior to that, Wible served as an Assistant US Attorney in the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York before his first stint at the DOJ's Fraud Section as an Assistant Chief in the Securities and Financial Fraud Unit. He also previously served in the White House Counsel's Office and spent three years in private practice before returning to the DOJ in 2020.

"We are very pleased to welcome Brent, who brings tremendous experience that will help him represent companies and individuals across a range of industries in their most challenging compliance and enforcement matters, especially those arising under the FCPA, the Bank Secrecy Act and money laundering statutes, economic sanctions, securities and commodities laws, and asset recovery," said Joel Cohen, Head of White & Case's Global White Collar Practice. "At the DOJ, Brent played a lead role in formulating its corporate enforcement policies, including as a chief architect of the new individual voluntary self-disclosure program and the new whistleblower awards program. He will bring exceptional value to our clients due to his thorough understanding of the DOJ's approach to white collar and corporate enforcement." 

Brent is the most recent addition to White & Case's growing White Collar Practice. In 2024, the practice added partners Rachel Rodman in Washington, DC, Ladan Stewart in New York, Neill Blundell in London and Sophia Habbe in Frankfurt, as well as International Trade partner David Lim in Washington, DC and Commercial Litigation partners Kami Haeri and Alexandre Kiabski in Paris and Darryl Bernstein in Johannesburg, all of whom advise on white collar crime, investigations and compliance.
