Kevin Chambers is the latest addition to the firm's white-collar defence and investigations practice
Latham & Watkins LLP has welcomed back Kevin Chambers as a partner in the white-collar defence & investigations practice and member of the litigation & trial department. Chambers returns to Latham’s Washington, DC office after serving as director for COVID-19 fraud enforcement and associate deputy attorney general at the US Department of Justice. He brings substantial senior government experience across white collar investigations, litigation, and regulatory enforcement matters.
“We are delighted to welcome Kevin back to Latham,” said Daniel Lennon, office managing partner of Latham & Watkins in Washington, DC. “He is a gifted strategist whose depth of experience, credentials, and substantive abilities will make him an asset to clients facing the most difficult challenges.”
Chambers was a partner at Latham until early 2021, when he joined the DOJ. At Latham, he represented individual and institutional clients in high-profile white collar, securities, and professional liability matters, including criminal and civil litigation and internal investigations.
“Kevin has led important anti-fraud efforts at DOJ, and he has a long record of demonstrated success in the public and private sector,” said Doug Greenburg, global chair of the firm’s white-collar defence & investigations practice. “Clients will undoubtedly value his zealous advocacy, as well as his thoughtful counsel as he represents them in their most sensitive investigative and government-facing matters.”
Chambers is the latest addition to the firm’s white-collar defence and investigations practice following the recent arrivals of former principal deputy assistant attorney general for the US Department of Justice’s criminal division Nick McQuaid, former deputy White House counsel Danielle Conley and Jonathan Su, and defence lawyers Christopher Garcia and Raquel Kellert.
“After having the honour to work with an incredibly talented and devoted team at the DOJ, I am excited to re-join Latham,” Chambers said. “The firm has a formidable and experienced white-collar team, a culture that fosters teamwork and collegiality, and an unmatched global platform. I look forward to counselling the world's leading companies, financial institutions, and executives through their most complex legal challenges.”
