What's Happening?
Andrew Rohrbach has joined Jenner & Block as a partner in its investigations, compliance, and defense practice in New York. Rohrbach previously served as an assistant US attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he was involved in high-profile public corruption cases, including the prosecution of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. His departure from the Justice Department in April was reportedly due to dissatisfaction with the handling of a bribery case against Mayor Eric Adams.
Why It's Important?
Rohrbach's move to Jenner & Block is significant as it brings a seasoned prosecutor with experience in high-stakes cases to the firm, potentially enhancing its capabilities in handling complex investigations and compliance issues. This transition may impact ongoing and future legal strategies in cases involving public corruption and financial crimes, given Rohrbach's expertise. His involvement in the FTX case highlights the firm's commitment to tackling major legal challenges in the financial sector.
