A former senior federal prosecutor with over a decade of enforcement experience in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, Albert (BJ) Stieglitz advises companies and individuals on investigations, litigation, and compliance issues related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, securities fraud and market manipulation, and other complex and cross-border conduct. His representations span a wide range of industries, including health care and life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, transportation & logistics, retail, private equity, and technology. He also has been called upon to advise sovereign entities in matters related to U.S. law enforcement and has represented senior executives, government officials, and other individuals facing enforcement scrutiny.

Before joining the firm, BJ served as the Acting Principal Deputy Chief of the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud Section, and in his nearly 13 years as a federal prosecutor, he led and supervised numerous cross-border fraud and FCPA investigations, tried multiple criminal cases to verdict, successfully managed relationships with federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies, and participated in the implementation of key aspects of DOJ corporate criminal enforcement policy. Twice a winner of the U.S. Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service, BJ was also selected for the DOJ’s first-ever dual secondment to the UK’s Serious Fraud Office and Financial Conduct Authority, where he investigated a variety of UK offenses, advised on interagency cooperation and enforcement policy issues, and led the negotiation of two UK deferred prosecution agreements.
