Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (February 2, 2022) - Fort Lauderdale Partner Sean P. Shecter has been named a co-chair of Lewis Brisbois' Government Investigations & White Collar Defense Practice. In his new role, Mr. Shecter will join the practice's existing co-chairs, San Diego Partner Gary K. Brucker, Jr., Los Angeles Partner Craig Holden, and Washington, D.C. Managing Partner Jane C.

In discussing his new position, Mr. Shecter said, “I am honored to be a co-chair with my colleagues in such an important group at Lewis Brisbois. This firm handles very high-profile, sophisticated matters in the white collar and investigations space. The Lewis Brisbois network and platform allows my colleagues to bring an unparalleled level of services to our clients.
