Eddie is a member of the firm’s White Collar + Government Investigations team. He focuses his practice on conducting high-stakes internal investigations and defending leading financial institutions facing regulatory scrutiny from government and industry regulators including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

On September 19, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a False Claims Act (FCA) settlement with a New Jersey shipyard that allegedly hired subcontractors employing undocumented workers. The recent settlement highlights an ongoing shift in the federal government’s strategy to enforce immigration laws aimed at businesses with federal contracts. It also underscores the Trump administration’s stated focus on enforcing immigration laws through various legal avenues, including criminal, civil, and administrative investigations and enforcement actions against employers.
