Continuing to bolster its California presence, Winston & Strawn is pleased to welcome Pamela Davis, a longtime expert in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, to its San Francisco office. Prior to joining Winston, Pam served as co-director of Hui Chen Ethics Consulting, where she worked alongside Hui Chen, the DOJ’s first FCPA compliance counsel expert, counseling clients on FCPA matters.
San Francisco Managing Partner Robb Adkins detailed what Pam’s experience being appointed three times by the U.S. government to serve as an independent FCPA monitor and independent consultant means for the San Francisco office and Winston: “It’s very rare within the white collar community for someone to have served as a monitor, let alone in three different instances like Pam has, and that kind of experience is very valuable to our clients. Oftentimes we are hired by very sophisticated and well-meaning international companies,” Robb continues. “And what they want from us in many engagements is to help them improve their compliance or if something was improperly done to help them competently investigate it, and then remediate it, so that in a way that the government will view [them] as credible. So, they can move on and continue doing their business.”
Elaborating on her decision to join Winston, Pam added: “I am joining Winston because the opportunity presented itself to join a firm that has this very large, new substantial Latin America practice, which is perfect for me.”
