Antitrust Law Daily Wrap Up, INDUSTRY NEWS: Wendy Norman, former Antitrust Division Prosecutor, to Join GeyerGorey LLP, (Feb 6, 2013)
Organizations Mentioned:U.S. Department of Justice
GeyerGorey LLP has announced that former LIBOR prosecutor Wendy Bostwick Norman will be joining the firm’s Philadelphia operations.
Norman spent the vast majority of her career in white collar investigations and prosecutions, including more than twenty years as a trial attorney with the Antitrust Division in the United States Department of Justice. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Wendy joining our firm,” said firm partner Bradford Geyer, “I have worked closely with Wendy on and off for more than 20 years and I know exactly what she brings to the table: legal acumen, strategic smarts and gravitas. She knows how to identify and exploit opportunity at the earliest juncture and I have no doubt she will be a superb supplement to our team.”
Firm partner Hays Gorey stressed Norman’s well known reputation as a talented and conscientious federal prosecutor and “team player.” Her wealth of experience investigating and prosecuting antitrust and related complex criminal frauds, including violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, ideally suits her to assist the firm’s clients, according to Geyer. “We are pleased she agreed to join the firm, despite offers to work in New York and Washington, D.C.”
Among numerous awards and accolades Norman won while at the Department of Justice were the 2010 Antitrust Division Assistant Attorney General Award of Distinction for her work on the team that earned the conviction for obstruction of justice of Ian P. Norris, the former CEO of The Morgan Crucible Company plc; the 2001 Attorney General’s John Marshall Award for Outstanding Legal Achievement for her trial victory in United States v. Mitsubishi Corporation; and, in 1999, an award from the Attorney General for Outstanding Dedication and Effectiveness in Enhancing Crime Victim Fund Collections.
