Miller & Chevalier Chartered today announced that David H. Resnicoff has joined the firm as a Member. Resnicoff most recently served as Associate General Counsel and Vice President, Ethics and Compliance, at Baxter International, where he built and operated Baxter’s modern Global Compliance Program. Before that, he was part of the turnaround team at Tyco International, where he was Associate Compliance Counsel and Director and Counsel for Investigations. Prior to his in-house positions, he spent eight years prosecuting healthcare and other government fraud, as well as other federal crimes, as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is one of the most active offices in the country with regard to healthcare fraud enforcement and has established a reputation for its sophisticated and creative approach to investigating and resolving these cases.
Resnicoff’s practice will focus on helping heavily regulated companies, and in particular healthcare companies, meet their U.S. and international compliance obligations, drawing upon his deep experience in the areas of compliance counseling, risk assessment, global investigations, and government enforcement issues. In the course of his career, Resnicoff has built and operated sophisticated global compliance programs; supervised and performed hundreds of complex investigations; successfully defended corporate clients accused of a wide variety of violations of federal law; and successfully prosecuted healthcare, government and other fraud, as well as other federal crimes. He has deep experience in a wide variety of regulatory regimes, including all aspects of U.S. healthcare fraud and abuse, misbranding, international anti-corruption (FCPA and U.K. Bribery Act), and export controls and sanctions.
“We are very pleased to welcome Dave Resnicoff to the firm,” said Anthony Shelley, Chair of Miller & Chevalier. “With his background in handling the defense and prosecution of enforcement actions, as well as his oversight of internal and external investigations for two global companies, he is in a unique position to advise clients that are operating in complex regulatory environments and are navigating a variety of compliance and enforcement related issues. In addition, Dave’s significant trial experience while an Assistant United States Attorney will enhance the firm’s diverse litigation capabilities.”
“The unusual combination of having spent years as a federal prosecutor, as in-house counsel, and as a private practitioner, enables Dave to provide clients with valuable perspectives and insights with respect to their global businesses,” said Homer Moyer, Vice Chair of Miller & Chevalier. “With this mix of professional experience, he is ideally positioned not only to assist companies in designing, operating, and testing compliance programs, but also to help guide sophisticated corporations with respect to FCPA, anti-corruption, export controls, and economic sanctions issues, and the investigations that increasingly arise in these areas. To this, he adds familiarity with diverse and highly regulated industries, including healthcare, from both a governmental and a private sector perspective.”
While at Baxter International Inc. from 2006-2011, Resnicoff oversaw the company’s global compliance program and led a team of 18 lawyers and compliance professionals. His responsibilities included compliance education, policy development, monitoring, internal and government investigations, and M&A compliance due diligence. When he was at Tyco International from 2003-2006, he helped build the company’s new ethics and compliance program and managed the company’s internal compliance investigations, as well as its response to government investigations. Prior to that, he spent eight years as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In recognition of his excellent performance, Resnicoff received the U.S. Department of Justice Director’s Award for Superior Performance, Prosecution of Health Care Fraud. From 1990-1995, he practiced in Covington & Burling’s Washington office, where he litigated federal matters and performed internal investigations.
“Miller & Chevalier is a great platform for my areas of practice. The experience, depth, and track record of the firm’s International, White Collar and other government enforcement practices fit perfectly with the areas in which I am experienced and in which I will concentrate,“ said Dave Resnicoff. “The challenges that companies face in building practical and cost-effective compliance programs that meet or exceed Sentencing Guideline requirements are ones that I know very well. So, too, are the investigative or enforcement issues that often lead corporations to turn to Miller & Chevalier. I am eager to begin working with the firm’s exceptional lawyers and its distinguished clients.”
Resnicoff earned a B.A. cum laude from Colby College; an M.A., with distinction, in International Affairs from John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies; and a J.D. cum laude from Boston College Law School.
