Jilan J. Kamal

She is currently a member of the IER/DOL Investigations Team.

Before joining the firm, Jilan spent nearly a decade at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where she served as a senior member of the Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit, handling some of its most politically sensitive and complex white-collar and cybercrime matters, including corporate investigations and monitorships. Her cross-border investigations spanned more than 89 countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America, and cut across a wide range of sectors, including private equity, telecommunications, financial services, defense technology, aviation, health care and nonprofits. She has investigated, litigated and resolved matters involving foreign bribery (under the FCPA, FEPA, and UK Bribery Act, among others), financial and investment fraud, Bank Secrecy Act violations, tax evasion, health care fraud, False Claims Act violations, and cyber-enabled consumer fraud schemes, often working in parallel (or jointly) with the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Justice Fraud Section. During her tenure at SDNY, Jilan tried seven jury trials to verdict and briefed and argued numerous appeals before the Second Circuit. Prior to her service at SDNY, Jilan worked in the international disputes and white-collar and regulatory defense practices of a global law firm headquartered in New York City, leaving the firm for one year to clerk for the Honorable Jacques L. Wiener Jr. in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. While in law school, Jilan interned for the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor when she sat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and for the Honorable Ellen Segal Huvelle in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
