Band 1
Provided by Raphael Prober
Rafi Prober co-leads the firm’s congressional investigations practice. Throughout his career in private practice and the public sector, Rafi has advised companies, institutions and individuals in some of the most high stakes, complex and consequential congressional and governmental investigations. He also assists with internal investigations, compliance audits and the development of effective compliance programs.
In 2015, after over a decade in private practice, including as a partner at Akin, Rafi was appointed to a key role at DOJ, serving as an Associate Deputy Attorney General. He handled all facets of the DOJ’s responses to congressional oversight and investigations, often involving parallel DOJ investigations and enforcement matters. He was also responsible for engagement with the DOJ Inspector General’s Office, the Government Accountability Office, and DOJ’s Office of Information Policy (overseeing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for the executive branch).
Rafi’s experience on both sides of high-profile investigations allows him to develop strategies that address not just the immediate scrutiny itself, but also broader reputational and business considerations, including the investigation’s potential impact on parallel criminal, civil and regulatory proceedings.
