Please join us for a discussion chat with Zainab Ahmad, a White Collar and Internal Investigations partner at Gibson Dunn who recently left the Department of Justice after 11 years, serving most recently as a senior prosecutor in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.  Zainab will speak about her experiences as at the Special Counsel’s office, where she led the Michael Flynn investigation; at the Department of Justice’s headquarters in DC, where she handled complicated international issues arising from fraud, money laundering, espionage and other matters; and as a prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, where she handled international terrorism and cybercrime cases.  Zainab will discuss relevant trends in government enforcement in these areas including the increased U.S. government focus on foreign influence in the private sector e.g., the uptick in FARA enforcement, increased scrutiny of transactions involving sovereign wealth funds and state-owned enterprises, increased use of foreign blocking statutes, and more.
