Shook Deepens White Collar Bench

Shook, Hardy & Bacon adds Jay Schleppenbach to the Government Investigations and White Collar Practice as partner in Chicago. Schleppenbach brings more than two decades of experience both in private practice and government handling white collar matters, internal investigations and various areas of complex litigation. Schleppenbach’s representations include cases involving public corruption, environmental regulations, accounting matters, as well as alleged violations of the U.S. securities laws and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Schleppenbach is a strategic counselor to large companies, their boards and committees, senior executives and other individuals.

“We are fast becoming a ‘go to’ law firm in the country for government investigations and white collar matters,” said Bill Corrigan, who co-leads the practice with Andrew Boutros and Patrick Oot. “Adding Jay to our team is another important step forward.”

“I’ve worked closely with Jay across many matters for many years. He is exceedingly accomplished and his multifaceted skill sets will further enhance our diverse white collar offerings. Jay’s addition also strongly speaks to Shook’s commitment to continuing to build out the firm’s government investigations and white collar practice,” said Boutros.
