Alston & Bird has announced the addition of Drew Rolle, a former deputy chief of the Business and Securities Fraud Section at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, to its White Collar, Government & Internal Investigations Group as a partner in New York.
“Drew brings a stellar track record in government enforcement, a wealth of contacts within the current DOJ, and a strategic, hard-charging approach to high-stakes litigation matters facing our clients today,” stated Joanna Hendon, partner and co-leader of Alston & Bird’s White Collar team. “His arrival strengthens our litigation team in New York and adds even greater depth to our white-collar team here and nationally.”
During his nine-year tenure at EDNY, Rolle supervised high-profile cases involving securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, and violations related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Bank Secrecy Act. As co-digital asset coordinator for EDNY, he led efforts against fraud in digital asset markets.
Rolle’s collaboration extended to senior DOJ officials and various domestic and international regulators. His trial work earned him accolades such as the Attorney General’s John Marshall Award for Trial of Litigation for an FCPA case resulting in a significant corporate penalty.
“I was drawn to Alston & Bird because of its unique combination of a deep, sophisticated white-collar practice with a truly collaborative culture that consistently delivers results for its clients,” said Rolle. “I’m thrilled to join this exceptional team.”
Alston & Bird’s White Collar Team is composed of experienced former prosecutors who engage with federal prosecutors and government agencies nationwide.
