Sound Bar: A Goodwin Podcast on White Collar Defense

Miranda Hooker, formerly AUSA for the District of Massachusetts and now a White Collar Partner at Pepper Hamilton, joins Sound Bar to discuss how the journey between federal government and private practice has shaped her as a lawyer today. Miranda reflects on her experience as a white collar defense lawyer both before and after being a prosecutor, and why AUSAs should never say that they represent the United States.

Helen Cantwell, Litigation Partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, joins Sound Bar to discuss her experience on both sides of the V. Helen shares her thoughts on being a public servant, her involvement in #MeToo cases, and the importance of bringing diverse perspectives to matters and management at law firms.

Brackett Denniston, senior counsel at Goodwin, joins Sound Bar to discuss his perspective on white collar defense based on his years as General Counsel at GE. Brackett shares his thoughts about DOJ policies and GE’s culture of compliance.

Josh Levy, partner at law firm Ropes & Gray, joins Sound Bar to discuss the ins and outs of representing organizations in criminal investigations. Is cooperating with the government the only option? Can corporations ever escape the shadow of the Arthur Andersen prosecution and (therefore) destruction?

Jeremy Sternberg, partner at law firm Holland & Knight, joins Sound Bar to take a behind-the-scenes look at the federal jury in theory and practice. Is the grand jury just the tool of the prosecutor? You bet, and you’ll find out why.
