Laurence Urgenson, who is one of the most respected FCPA lawyers in the country and has formerly served in different capacities at the US Department of Justice, including being its Chief of the Fraud Section for Criminal Division, has joined Mayer Brown.

He has served as the Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General and primarily supervised the Fraud Section, General Litigation and Legal Advice Section, and Office of Policy and Management Analysis.
