Pillsbury partner William M. Sullivan Jr. has been named a White Collar, Regulatory & Compliance Trailblazer in a new supplement published by the National Law Journal. The NLJ reportedly received hundreds of nominations, and Sullivan is one of just 25 individuals to achieve the Trailblazers distinction as someone who continues to make their mark in white collar litigation.

Sullivan is the co-leader of Pillsbury’s Corporate Investigations and White Collar Defense team and splits his time between the firm’s New York and Washington, DC offices. A former Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, he represents public and private companies as well as key executives and public officials in global corporate regulatory and internal investigations, parallel proceedings, trial and grand jury matters, congressional and independent counsel inquiries, public corruption matters and white collar criminal defense, with a particular emphasis on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), antitrust and securities matters, international trade and export control, and the Foreign Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Sullivan has been uniquely successful on behalf of both companies and individuals in persuading government regulatory authorities to decline to pursue criminal prosecution or other enforcement actions involving a diverse array of matters.
