Biography

Albert (BJ) Stieglitz is a member of the firm's White Collar, Government & Internal Investigations team. His 12+ years in complex, cross-border white-collar criminal enforcement have given him a deep understanding of foreign and domestic corporate criminal investigations and litigation that enables him to help clients navigate the challenges of multi-jurisdictional investigations conducted by the world's most active enforcement agencies. As the Acting Principal Deputy Chief of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Fraud Section, BJ oversaw the work of the Fraud Section’s FCPA, Market Integrity and Major Frauds, and Health Care Fraud units, managed interagency relationships with enforcement partners including U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, the SEC, and the FBI, and participated in the implementation of key aspects of DOJ corporate criminal enforcement policy. He also served as the first-ever DOJ prosecutor detailed to the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In this unique role, BJ worked side by side with SFO and FCA personnel investigating complex fraud, market abuse, and other violations of UK law, and played a leading role in obtaining the SFO’s deferred prosecution agreements with two large UK government contractors. During his time at the DOJ, BJ tried numerous federal criminal cases to verdict and led and supervised investigations and prosecutions of a wide variety of federal criminal violations by individuals and corporations, including mail, wire and securities fraud, money laundering, and violations of the FCPA. A graduate of Duke University and the University of Virginia School of Law, BJ worked on the staff of a member of U.S. Senate leadership prior to entering law school and clerked for the Honorable John G. Heyburn II of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky following his graduation.
