United States | Press release - Business | January 24, 2022
Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright today announced the appointment of New York partner Sandeep Savla as its US Co-Head of Regulatory, Investigations, Securities and Compliance, joining Washington, DC partner Kevin Harnisch in this leadership role.
Jeff Cody, Norton Rose Fulbright’s US Managing Partner, said:
“Since joining our global investigations group last year, Sandeep has quickly become an integral part of the team. The firm has identified investigations as a key area of focus and growth, and I look forward to Sandeep and Kevin leading this charge together.”
Steve Jansma, Norton Rose Fulbright’s US Head of Litigation and Disputes, said:
“Sandeep has an impressive track record of assisting clients through complex litigation and investigations. His decades of law firm, in-house and government experience split between New York and London give him a unique perspective that will greatly benefit the team and its clients.”
Savla’s practice focuses on civil litigation and white collar investigations, particularly matters involving securities, financial markets, tax and financial products. He has more than 20 years of experience in government, private practice and as head of litigation at an investment bank. During the course of his career, Savla has represented financial institutions, issuers, accounting firms and individuals. He has acted in almost every major industry-wide financial investigation before federal, state and foreign authorities and in related civil litigation across the country. Much of his representations have been cross-border in nature. Savla has also represented companies in multiple False Claims Act investigations and litigations before federal and state agencies.
Savla, who served as Senior Counsel in the Enforcement Division of the US Securities and Exchange Commission earlier in his career, said:
“Norton Rose Fulbright’s global investigations team advises clients on all aspects of regulatory and compliance issues, investigations and litigation. I am eager to collaborate with Kevin to shape our strategy related to the evolving landscape of legislation and regulations.”
Licensed in New York and England and Wales, Savla received a Master of Laws from Stanford Law School, an LL.M. from King’s College London and a bachelor’s degree in law from Oxford University.
