Ian focuses his practice on complex litigation, government investigations, and internal investigations. He has substantial experience conducting sensitive inquiries involving allegations of corruption, fraud, and other serious legal and regulatory violations.
Ian has managed complex civil and criminal litigation, leading and supporting all phases of the process—from drafting pleadings and overseeing large-scale discovery to briefing dispositive and pretrial motions. He also has jury trial experience and is particularly adept at navigating fact-intensive disputes.
In addition to his litigation practice, Ian has deep experience evaluating and strengthening anti-corruption compliance programs. He served on the team of a compliance monitor appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice following a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) resolution and advised a company undergoing a compliance monitorship by the French Agence Française Anticorruption (AFA) under the Sapin II law.
Before joining the firm, Ian led a team of compliance investigators at a major European aerospace company, where he directed complex internal and government-facing investigations across multiple jurisdictions. He also developed and implemented global investigation procedures, guidance, and tools to support consistent and effective investigative practices. Ian’s combined in-house and law firm experience enables him to approach investigations and compliance challenges with a practical, business-oriented perspective.
Earlier in his career, Ian practiced at an international law firm based in Washington, D.C.
