Three white collar defense attorneys from Akerman Senterfitt joined Fulbright & Jaworski’s international litigation and dispute resolution practice this week. Richard C. Smith, Alexandre H. Rene and Guy D. Singer join Fulbright’s Washington, D.C. office; all three are former U.S. Department of Justice attorneys. Smith joins as a partner, and was known in the Justice Department for his quick investigations and prosecutions of corporate fraud cases. Rene also will be a partner at Fulbright – he has prosecuted cases involving bribery, bank fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, obstruction of justice, perjury, mail and wire fraud. Singer joins as senior counsel. Fulbright’s litigation and dispute resolution practice has been a part of the firm since its founding in 1919. The firm today has close to 1,000 lawyers practicing in 16 locations worldwide.
