DOJ Appoints New Chief Corporate Enforcement Prosecutors

DOJ’s National Security Division this week announced the appointment of Ian Richardson as the agency’s first chief counsel for corporate enforcement and Christian Nauvel as the new deputy chief counsel for corporate enforcement. They will oversee the division’s investigation and prosecution of national security-related corporate crime, DOJ said, and are a part of the agency’s efforts to add more than 25 new prosecutors to investigate and prosecute sanctions and export control violations (see 2303070023).

Richardson was the former assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Nauvel previously was senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division and served as a lead prosecutor in DOJ's racketeering and sanctions case against Huawei (see 2002130045).
