Charles Duross, former deputy chief of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Unit for the Department of Justice, will join the litigation department of law firm Morrison & Foerster as a partner. He also will head its global anti-corruption practice, effective Feb. 17.
As the head of the Justice Department’s FCPA Unit for almost four years, Duross was in charge of all FCPA investigations, prosecutions and resolutions in the United States from April 2010 through his departure from the Justice Department on Jan. 24, 2014. Under his leadership, the FCPA Unit resolved more than 40 corporate cases, resulting in approximately $1.9 billion in monetary penalties and the conviction of more than two dozen business executives and money launderers.
